<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the final sketch of my Philosophy Series. He is my favorite philosopher and one of the very few western thinkers who understood and weaved Eastern philosophy into his works. He was an exponent of Vedas and Upanishads. Also, I think his aphorisms are really good. He was a pure vegetarian and an animal lover. The name of pet poodle was ‘Atma’ a Sanskrit word for ‘Soul’.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 –1860) was a German philosopher. He is best known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation, wherein he characterizes the phenomenal world as the product of a blind and insatiable metaphysical will. Building on the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant, Schopenhauer developed an atheistic metaphysical and ethical system that rejected the contemporaneous ideas of German idealism.</span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; background-color: white; text-align: justify; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">His work has been described as an exemplary manifestation of philosophical pessimism. Though his work failed to garner substantial attention during his lifetime, Schopenhauer has had a posthumous impact across various disciplines, including philosophy, literature, and science. His writing on aesthetics, morality, and psychology have influenced many thinkers and artists. Schopenhauer saw his philosophy as a continuation of that of Kant, and used the results of his epistemological investigations, that is, transcendental idealism, as starting point for his own. As a consequence of his monistic philosophy, Schopenhauer was very concerned about the welfare of animals. For him, all individual animals, including humans, are essentially the same, being phenomenal manifestations of the one underlying Will. The word "will" designated, for him, force, power, impulse, energy, and desire; it is the closest word we have that can signify both the real essence of all external things and also our own direct, inner experience. For this reason, he claimed that a good person would have sympathy for animals, who are our fellow sufferers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Schopenhauer died peacefully on September 21, 1860, in his apartment in Frankfurt at Schöne Aussicht 16. He was 72.</span></div>

read about the elephant last night and ever since there is an unsettling eerie
feeling within me. I am pained, saddened, ashamed and disturbed in equal
measures by what the locals in Kerala’s Malappuram did to that poor pregnant
elephant who was scrounging for food. Who on earth, in his right mind and with
even an iota of conscience could do a vile thing as to feed it pineapple laced
with crackers. The crackers burst into her mouth and she died standing in
water. The attempts to rescue her went futile probably she was too heartbroken to
ever trust humans again. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This incident is not the only one and not will be the
last one but it is another noose that has tightened its grip on our collective
humanity and conscience. I am way too depressed even as tears fill my eyes as I
write this, I demand harshest punishment for those monsters and a radical
change in animal protection laws in India. Sadly, the priorities of Indian
government are can make this seem like a very distant dream. We are currently
obsessed with changing the name of everything- cities, stadiums, roads, or even
the country- from India to Bharat after the great king Bharat, a step closer Hinduism.
In the whole drama that plays on the national stage along with many other
pointless ones, we have forgotten that it is collective ethics and morals along
with a robust justice system that make a country great, and not just assuming
the name of a king once called great in some mythology books. Real life needs
attention and care and more respect than mythology. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It
was a gruesome murder not only of an animal but of humanity too. Human stupidity
and cruelty is boundless. It is a shame. Sadly, TV channels, instead of raking
up this ghastly issue to shake the people’s conscience, thought it more
important to please, we all know whom. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Last
night I saw a very disturbing video of a migrant laborer eating a dead dog on a
highway in Rajasthan. He must have been terribly hungry and destitute. This is
the story of our laborers who leave their villages for cities to earn bread
& butter. Cities have proved them wrong; there is no love for them.
Employers have not paid them their dues and government is busy in blame games.
The poor migrants are going though a very rough patch. </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That
video shook me somewhere deeply and these poems came out. I applaud people who
are helping them. At the end of the day, it is people supporting each other

<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) was a Dutch philosopher of Portuguese Sephardi origin. One of the early thinkers of the Enlightenment and modern biblical criticism including modern conceptions of the self and the universe. He came to be considered one of the great rationalists of 17th-century philosophy. He was born a Jew but at 23, was expelled from his community and shunned by his family for his philosophy and revolutionary ideas. He was a trained lens maker and polisher and earned his income from this craft.Spinoza's magnum opus, 'The Ethics' was published posthumously in the year of his death. The work opposed Descartes' philosophy of mind–body dualism, and earned Spinoza recognition as one of Western philosophy's most important thinkers. Spinoza argues that the way to 'blessedness' or 'salvation' for each person involves an expansion of the mind towards an intuitive understanding of God, of the whole of nature and its laws. In other words, philosophy for Spinoza is like a spiritual practice, whose goal is happiness and liberation.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Simone De Beauvoir (Seemon-Day-Bu-Wa) 1908–1986, was a French writer, intellectual, existentialist philosopher, political activist, feminist and social theorist. She had a significant influence on both feminist existentialism and feminist theory. Her 1949 essay 'The Second Sex', is considered a pioneering work of the modern feminism movement. She was the partner of philosopher Jean Paul Sartre.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">'The Second Sex' is De Beauvoir’s nearly 1000-page critique of patriarchy and the second-rate status granted to women throughout history. Now reckoned as one of the most important and earliest works of feminism, at the time of its publication The Second Sex was received with great controversy, with some critics characterizing the book as pornography and the Vatican placing the work on the church's list of forbidden texts.</span></div>

Be it a desire to be in snow capped mountains or in a quiet country cottage, of a river in a pine forest or lying under starry open sky, just remove the dust of hopelessness for the fire of hope gives light and warmth from within.</span></div>
