Transcendental Pessimism
The Philosopher 112 (1):73-77 (2024)
Abstract
I provide an overview of the differences between psychological pessimism and philosophical pessimism. Based on a historic reading of the original 19th century German pessimist philosophers I provide a definition of what I call "transcendental pessimism" and sketch some of the reasons why it is different from other pessimist perspectives such as anti-natalism.Author's Profile
