He's an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Warwick. And today we're talking about his new book, Arthur Schopenhauer, The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist.
So, Dr. Bather Woods, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one. Hi, thank you. It's a pleasure to talk with you today.
So let me just ask you first, what got you interested in Schopenhauer and his philosophy? Good. So Schopenhauer is my gateway philosopher. I started thinking about philosophical questions. In fact, I was probably thinking about philosophical questions.
