'''Arthur Schopenhauer''' was a post-Kantian, pessimistic German philosopher (born in 1788 in the city of Danzig, Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania, modern day Gdansk, Poland) and [[NEET]]. Though largely unappreciated in his own era, his writings had later become immensely influential. Of greatest relevance to this wiki, he is also known for his '[[misogynist]]' essay entitled "On Women", which argued for [[female subordination]], authored in 1851 in his books ''Parerga and Paralipomena''. | '''Arthur Schopenhauer''' was a post-Kantian, pessimistic German philosopher (born in 1788 in the city of Danzig, Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania, modern day Gdansk, Poland) and [[NEET]].

Schopenhauer's essay ''On Women''<ref>https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Studies_in_Pessimism/On_Women</ref> concerns his disdain with what he perceived as the undue moral elevation of woman in the European society of his own time. Like [[Friedrich Nietzsche|Nietzsche]] (who was clearly influenced in his own view of women by Schopenhauer's writings), he perceived the treatment of women in the East, such as China and the Islamic world, as more just and in accordance with reason than the contemporary Western view of the role of women in society, which he viewed as originating in soppy [[History of female sex-favoritism|French medieval chivalric]] texts. He claimed the veneration of women he saw in his own time was the "highest product of Christian–Teutonic stupidity". | Schopenhauer's essay ''On Women''<ref>https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Studies_in_Pessimism/On_Women</ref> concerns his disdain with what he perceived as the undue moral elevation of woman in the European society of his own time.
