Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Pessimism

That Pessimism may be offered by some of its devotees as an escape, a refuge, a haven, a salvation will appear to many as very doubt ful. And yet we find it, in that land where life acquires the nature both of a 'dream and a burden,' put forth in no equivocal terms as an emancipation from life's sufferings.

That Pessimism is offered as a solution of existence is less difficult for us to comprehend; still, it may seem to many as highly question able. However, we may best understand certain of Pessimism's forms by regarding it not only as an explanation of existence but as a sincere attempt to solve the riddle of the universe.
