His practical approach to life, which for him is a collection of instances utterly devoid of meaning - metaphysical or otherwise -, makes one constantly consider and sometimes rethink one's own notions about existence. Yes, the German philosopher was a major misogynist and preferred the company of dogs over that of women, but most of his writings have nothing to do with women, or defame the whole of mankind. One could even say he preferred the company of canines over that of all people.
Schopenhauer's notions about suffering and the meaningless of life are never comforting or encouraging but, from the viewpoint of his philosophy, always brutally honest and thought out to the fullest extent of their implications. He never shies away from unwelcome conclusions, and his thoughts on theism, religion, studying, wisdom, independent thinking, writing and - to top it all off - the ethics of suicide in a nutshell: suicide is epistemologically pointless, but everyone has the right to do it - all these make the collection a fascinating and thoroughly entertaining read.
