Drop the -ea-, please. Neo-Schopenhauern will suffice.Neo-Schopenhauerean — schopenhauer1
(I sure hope you're not a follower of the Cynics.)The repetitious and systemic futility of life (what I call structural suffering), and the contingent harms of a particular life with its set of circumstances, etc. It has similar themes and conclusions and even can accept Will as a principle of sorts of nature and certainly in the human psyche, but perhaps without the Platonic forms, or his seemingly static, non-evolutionary metaphysics. — schopenhauer1
Now, applying that to myself, when would it be appropriate to call my own philosophy a Neo-Schopenhauerean one.. besides the lame answer of "Call your philosophy whatever you want". — schopenhauer1
Humanism, for instance, could possibly be the cure for the automatic, uncritical obedience to rationalism and scientism if we are willing to risk being called "un-philosophical". — Caldwell
That's the point of the thread, right? Are you a Neo-Schopenhauerean, or a Post-Schope?
Who cares? Why define your own views against your mentor's views? You remain in Shope's shadow, preventing you from forming your own distinct philosophy, independent from Shopey. Am I a Neo-Berdyaevian? A post-Biblicalist? A Neo-existentialist? Am I a neo-classicalist-mystic? Am I syncretistic skeptic? Who cares? I don't. — Noble Dust
This is a bit unclear, do you want to expand? — schopenhauer1
