Arthur Schopenhau was a German 19th

00:10

century philosopher who deserves to be

00:12

remembered today for the insights

00:14

contained in his great work the world as

00:16

will and representation.

00:19

Chopenhau was the first serious western

00:21

philosopher to get interested in

00:23

Buddhism and his thought can best be

00:25

read as a western reinterpretation and

00:27

response to the enlightened pessimism

00:30

found in Buddhist thought. In my 17th

00:33

year, he wrote in an autobiographical

00:34

text, I was gripped by the misery of

00:37

life as the Buddha had been in his youth

00:39

when he saw sickness, old age, pain, and

00:42

death everywhere. The truth was that

00:44

this world could not have been the work

00:45

of an all-loving being, but rather that

00:48

of a devil who'd brought creatures into

00:50

existence in order to delight in their

00:53

sufferings. And like the Buddha, it was

00:55

Schopenhau's goal to dissect and then

00:57

come up with a solution to this

00:59

suffering. It's simply the fault of

01:01

universities that Schopenhau has always

01:03

been taught in such a dry academic way

01:06

that it has stopped him from being

01:07

widely known, read, and followed. And

01:09

yet, in truth, this is a man who, no

01:12

less than a Buddha, deserves disciples,

01:14

schools, artworks, and monasteries to

01:16

put his ideas into practice. It's not

01:18

too late. Schopenhau's philosophy starts

01:21

by giving a name to a primary force

01:23

within us, which he says is more

01:25

powerful than anything else, our reason,

01:28

logic, or moral sense. And which

01:30

Schopenhau terms the will to life in

01:33

German, the villa tsum liben. The will

01:36

to life is a constant force which makes

01:38

us thrust ourselves forward, cling to

01:40

existence, and look always to our own

01:43

advantage. It's blind, dumb, and very

01:45

insistent. What the will to life makes

01:47

us focus on most of all is sex. From

01:50

adolescence onwards, this will thrums

01:53

within us, turns our heads constantly to

01:55

erotic scenarios, and makes us do very

01:57

weird things. The most weird of which is
