…reader recognizes his sophistry for what it is and stops trying to make sense of it all. I'd encourage anyone on HN to go directly to Plato if they want real philosophy, or at least jump back to Nietzsche (Schopenhauer as Educator) if they want an entertaining and tongue-in-cheek iconoclast whose ideas merit real thought.
…escape the miserable pressure of the Will, i.e. unconscious/life force/animal nature. Reading Schopenhauer's main book seems like Freud + Darwin. One of the essays in N's first book is the fascinating Schopenhauer as Educator. The chapters on S and N in Santayana's very readable and funny Egotism in German Philosophy are maybe the best, most insightful thing written about them. I read a lot of Kierkegaard years ago - for…
…metaphors, or in moral terms, the obligation to lie according to an established convention, to lie collectively in a style that is mandatory for everyone. Actually he had a lot to say about him—check out Schopenhauer as Educator, a long essay from Nietzsche's first (full-sized) book, Untimely Meditations aka Unfashionable Observations aka Thoughts Out Of Season—it's a very grateful tribute. William James wrote so many great…
……读者看清他的诡辩本质，不再试图强行理顺这一切。我建议 HN 上的各位，如果想看真正的哲学，直接去看柏拉图；或者至少退回去看尼采（《作为教育者的叔本华》），如果你想看一个既有趣、说话又带着讥讽的反传统者，他的思想值得深入思考。

……逃离“意志”的悲惨压迫，即潜意识/生命力/动物本性。读叔本华的主作感觉就像弗洛伊德+达尔文。尼采第一本书里的一篇论文就是非常精彩的《作为教育者的叔本华》。桑塔亚那那本很好读又有趣的《德国哲学中的自大狂》里关于叔本华和尼采的章节，大概是写他们俩最好、最深刻的内容了。我很多年前读过很多克尔凯郭尔——因为……

……隐喻，或者用道德术语来说，就是按照既定公约去撒谎的义务，以一种人人必须遵守的风格集体撒谎。其实他对叔本华评价颇多——去看看《作为教育者的叔本华》吧，这是尼采第一本（完整篇幅的）书《不合时宜的沉思》（又译《不合时宜的考察》或《不合时宜的思想》）里的一篇长文——这是一篇非常真挚的致敬。威廉·詹姆斯写过那么多精彩的……
