Schopenhauer' mother, Joanna. was
o singular woman. with whom he was
perpetually ut war. She was lively, he
was grim. She was sentimentalist, he
detested sentiment. She was devoted TO
society. to gossip, to the convenances Of
life. He lived for ideas. and with an al.
most savage moroseness poured scorn on
the round Of lat homes" and aesthetic
tea parties. Both were selfish and quar-
relsome. We may judge, therefore, that
Schopenhauer took his notions of wom-
en- partly from his mother. IL goes with.
out saying that these notions were vio-
lent in the extreme, yet not without
some aspects Of truth.
The new woman would rave at this
satire on her pretensions, and yet IL
would do her good 70 read what Scho-
penhauer has to say with as much calm
