University of Basrah Organizes a Seminar on Schopenhauer’s Philosophy Regarding Women
The College of Fine Arts at the University of Basrah organized an awareness seminar entitled “Schopenhauer’s Philosophy… on the Intellectual Content of Woman.”
The seminar aimed to provide a systematic reading of Schopenhauer’s philosophy concerning women, emphasizing that his ideas should not be taken as absolute philosophical truths but understood within their historical context and his broader pessimistic worldview, reflecting the cultural environment of his time.
The seminar, presented by Assistant Professor Dr. Qusai Abdul Abbas Radi, addressed the main themes of Schopenhauer’s philosophy, its wide influence, and the controversies it has sparked in Arab thought, particularly regarding his perspective on women and the critical analysis of his related concepts.
