From Quora:  Was the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer an incel? Why or why not?

Quote from: Zeynep Yardemir
It depends on what you actually mean by incel since it’s a little controversial word to use here.

He was a misogynist because he had an abusive mother. His mother was the motive of his radical thoughts on women. Even though he was a total women-hater, he never abused women physically. And if you take a close look, mostly the thing he is against with women is their abusive manner and their “ignorance”.

Unlike incels, he didn’t think that women owe men sexual satisfaction or children. He was actually at the opposite side. He thought that this was a curse of the humanity and no one should have sex nor have children.

So I think he wasn’t actually an incel. He was a nihilist and misogynistic who believed that there should not be another generation of beings.


Letter from Johanna Schopenhauer to her son Arthur Schopenhauer, dated 6 November 1807

You are not an evil human; you are not without intellect and education; you have everything that could make you a credit to human society. Moreover, I am acquainted with your heart and know that few are better, but you are nevertheless irritating and unbearable, and I consider it most difficult to live with you.

All of your good qualities become obscured by your super-cleverness and are made useless to the world merely because of your rage at wanting to know everything better than others; of wanting to improve and master what you cannot command. With this you embitter the people around you, since no one wants to be improved or enlightened in such a forceful way, least of all by such an insignificant individual as you still are; no one can tolerate being reproved by you, who also still show so many weaknesses yourself, least of all in your adverse manner, which in oracular tones, proclaims this is so and so, without ever supposing an objection.

If you were less like you, you would only be ridiculous, but thus as you are, you are highly annoying.


I can't help but feel animosity toward such a woman, but I will repress the foul language.  Myself, I consider this Johanna to have been cruel, insensitive, and even somewhat of a Hater of Truth.  Was she a gort?
