@@watkins7086 Unfortunately, I don’t have any other lectures on pessimistic philosophers at this point. I would love to do Schopenhauer some day, or Cioran, but I don’t have any immediate plans to.
Great video.I've recently become aware of Zapffe after reading Ligotti's The conspiracy against the human race.He definitely has some interesting views.
Thank you very much! As far as I know, like the philosophy of Philip Mainlander, there have been no physical English translations of his works. I've only read electronic PDF translations, which you can find by Googling around for them.
translated into English by Gisle R. Tangenes for the March/April 2004 issue (Issue 45) of Philosophy Now magazine. You can find online. Not sure about physical copies aside from the original Norwegian.
I think that Prof David Benatar ' Better not to have been ' was an anti natalist IE preventing life in the first place , but does not promote suicide . His view is that once here we should make the best of it . 💬
One thing that I don't often hear about Schopenhauer is that he loved the Upanishads . They were the great comfort of his life - quite remarkable because in his era his access to translations of the Upanishads and Vedanta were limited . He called all his dogs Atman 🕉️. Very interesting presentation about someone I previously knew nothing about . Thanks .
Zapffe is my favorite philosopher. This was awesome thanks for posting it!
He has a very interesting take on the problem of human existence, doesn't he? Thanks for the comment!

I love how you pause at intervals. It helps me reflect on what Peter said. I've subscribed 🙂

Great lecture! Is there anyway to get physical copies of English translations of Zapffe's main works?

If you’re still interested, an English translation of his major work “On the Tragic” was recently published.
I cant find a translation to his books
I haven’t tried looking them up, but you could try LibGen.

Zapffe's philosophy is similar to Philipp Mainlander's, except that Mainlander committed suicide at the age of 34. Yet, both were anti-natalists.
Once Mainlander's "Philosophy of Redemption" is translated into English, I'll definitely be picking it up!
