Overview

Peak intellect combined with extreme pessimism formed a solitary intellectual who reshaped Western metaphysics around the will. Low temperance and humility led to late-life isolation, yet high diligence and reflection guaranteed the quality of his output, while extreme individualism paradoxically culminated in a philosophy of compassion for all suffering.
