Made me think of my 2023 summer with #Austin #JLAustin ( & I needed a long summer for that epic text!). #MarkRowe, like David, transformed the way I thought about certain philosophers & their ideas that I had read & not originally had in my orbit @oupphilosophy.bsky.social #philsky #booksky

I read this book because I adore @davidbatherwoods.bsky.socialβs
work & I loved this book because of his writing & what heβs done here. I now see more kindness in #Schopenhauer & his ideas than I thought possible. Congrats @davidbatherwoods.bsky.social @uchicagopress.bsky.social
