SCHOPENHAUER: ¡Su MADRE lo echó de CASA, dijo que era un FRACASADO y él NUNCA la perdonó!

Arthur Schopenhauer is today one of the most quoted philosophers in history. But for forty years, the only famous Schopenhauer in Germany wasn't him. It was his mother. Johanna Schopenhauer published sixteen successful novels. She organized the most brilliant literary salon in Weimar. She welcomed Goethe into her home as if he were just another neighbor. When her son Arthur brought her his first philosophical manuscript, she glanced through it briefly and told him that no one would ever read it. In 1814, she wrote him a letter saying she never wanted to see him again. Arthur was twenty-six years old. This video tells the complete story of Arthur Schopenhauer: from his childhood in Danzig, the son of a father obsessed with making him a merchant and a mother who never loved him the way she longed to be loved, to his death at seventy-two on a sofa in Frankfurt, completely alone, with the volumes of Kant neatly arranged on his desk and a letter from his mother tucked away among his papers for forty-six years. The man who wrote that life was suffering and that the will to exist was a trap... lived seventy-two years, developed a philosophy that would influence Nietzsche, Wagner, and Freud, and kept until the end the letter from the woman who had rejected him. This is what really happened to him. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss upcoming documentaries about the most fascinating figures in history. --- In this documentary you will find: The war between Arthur and Johanna: how Germany's most famous mother rejected her own son Young Arthur forced to learn commerce while his mother triumphed as a writer The 1814 letter that ended their relationship forever: "I don't want to see you again" The forty years of silence: The world as will and representation sold like butcher paper The empty Berlin classroom: Schopenhauer facing no one, Hegel with a full auditorium The parable of the porcupine: the most honest self-portrait a philosopher has ever written The phrase he wrote when his mother died: "Obit anus, abit onus" — the old woman died, the burden is gone The arrival of fame at sixty, too late for her to know it Nietzsche reading Schopenhauer at fourteen in a secondhand bookstore The solitary death in Frankfurt, and the letter kept for forty-six years --- 📚 Philosophers in Detail produces biographical documentaries about history's most contradictory thinkers.
