Introducing ‘Courage Against Schopenhauer’s Pain’

‘Courage Against Schopenhauer’s Pain’ is a philosophical fairy tale that applies Schopenhauer’s philosophy to the difficulties children face at school and at home.

The story follows three musketeers who embark on a countryside trip to collect insects but find themselves in turmoil due to the malicious actions of their companion, In-su. In-su’s cruel behavior of painfully breaking the legs of helpless animals leads to fights among friends and leg injuries. The author provides advice inspired by Schopenhauer’s words to children who struggle with controlling pain, impulses, and desires.

The core of Schopenhauer’s philosophy is accepting pain as a part of life and facing reality. This can be applied to the difficulties children experience in studying, exams, grades, and more. The book encourages children to reflect on their common difficult emotions and the harsh reality, helping them understand themselves and the world.

Schopenhauer presents four specific methods for children to manage primal anxieties, conflicts with friends or parents, academic stress, and inner desires. These methods include gaining constant insight into oneself and the world, cultivating the ability to see beauty, living a life of altruism, and showing empathy and sympathy towards others.
