hello to everyone

Just wanted to say hello to everyone - I'm new to this forum.

Does anyone read Arthur Schopenhauer's books?

[Bebelina]

But Shopenhauer???? The pessimist???? :D :D :D
Get a grip of yourself! :D

I read some of Schopenhauer's writtings, so if you want any objective answers you may ask me.

[Twilight]

Seems like we lost you..??

Still, if you opened the thread...
I'm wondering what is your opinion about Schopenhauer's definition of religions ("religions are the metaphysics of the crowd") ?

And rde, what did you REALLY want to say?

[MarlonsUniverse]

Talk about lost.....it took me 4 years to get back to you. Are you still there?

[Spectrum]

I think it's pronounced Shope-en-hower.

Wow. This is probably the oldest resurrected thread, ever.

[Cyperium]

Probably the longest time it has taken for the threadstarter to answer too :)

Umm... hi... and.... welcome.:p

Yes the pronounciation is correct I do believe as previously posted. I only found my post via a google search and suddenly I remembered why I'd joined this group - because I wanted to talk with like-minded individuals! Glad to see people are here! I've been reading Schopenhauer's Prize Essay on the Freedom of the Will. Has anyone else here read it? It's so mind-boggling you have to take notes.
