Once Shoppenhauer was anoyed at a women who was chattering outside his appartment to a neighbor, so he came out and threw her down the stairs. She sued him and he had to pay a monthy amount for her health care. I do not think any more of his ideas than I think of the man himself. He is not one of those philosophers who is believed to practice what he preaches.
On the other hand I met someone once who loved Shoppenhauer's ideas. I do like that some of his material is drawn from Indian philosophy.
I do believe the will is a prime universal but I do not get that from Shoppenhr. But I believe all prime universals are good; though mankind is basically sinful, there is also imputed much good into most of us.

Optimistic philosophy still philosophy far beyond of our reality which is not just pesimistic but pure mental institution.

I don't know, but

will was brilliant.
