Schopenhauer's philosophy of life suicide
Artur Schopenhauer, a German philosopher, was the first philosopher in the history of philosophy to openly multiplicity of rationalism, created a precedent for irrationalist philosophy, and was also the founder of voluntarism and modern pessimism, and his theory laid the foundation for voluntaristic theory.
As far as we know, of all religions, only Judaism is a sin for suicide, but it is strange that there is no explicit rule in any religious dogma that prohibits or blames suicide, so many times it is the missionaries who preach the theory that suicide is a crime through their own knowledge base, because the philosophical basis does not support this idea, and they have to support and justify the theory of crime with a deep hatred of suicide. Therefore, we often hear that "suicide is cowardly, cowardly", that only madmen commit suicide, or that suicide is a crime, and so on.
It is clear that there is nothing in the world that belongs to us more than life, just as it was in ancient Britain where suicides not only confiscated their property, but also buried them in a very remorseful manner. In this way, once you encounter a suicide case, you will always be judged to be insane, but in fact, is it from the level of moral emotion? For example, if an acquaintance you know commits homicide, what would you think? I'm sure you'll be so angry that you'll even demand severe punishment for those who have committed crimes, and if someone you know commits suicide, you'll feel compassion for him or admire his courage. Is every suicide a friend? Do we throw hatred for the suicidal for the criminal? Definitely not! But the clergy label the suicide as a criminal in their special capacity, and if someone questions it, they will find ways to justify their ideas, or directly blame the person who raised the question. If the Penal Code had forbade suicide on that day, the promulgation of the ban would itself seem ridiculous! You can imagine "A person who is not afraid of death will still be afraid of the punishment of the law?" If the law can punish those who attempt suicide, it is not to punish the person for the intention or idea of committing suicide, but to punish him for his suicide mistake.
In fact, people of all ages have completely different views on suicide, we should know that not everyone is willing to survive to the last moment of life, even if you have such thoughts, you can't escape the subject of death, no matter who you are, how high your status, or any great man in the world, it is difficult to escape this catastrophe. So is it okay to think that dying at the right time, especially suicide, is also a precious treasure or right given to us by nature? Or is it possible to think that "God is not omnipotent, He cannot decide His own death, even if he thinks about it, he cannot do it, and it is a blessing in misfortune that human beings can commit suicide".
In Malaysia and Kos, if there is an ingredient reason for suicide, it is natural to give poison, and in ancient times, there were countless heroes and ancestors who were determined to die, although we all thought that suicide was a crime. But I think Aristotle's disciple said so when explaining his master's introduction"The most unfortunate good people and the happiest bad people should commit suicideHe further said that people should not only get married and have children to serve the motherland, but also do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and find ways to continue their lives, but if necessary, they should give up their lives for certain missions. The Stoics, one of the four philosophical schools of ancient Greece, regarded suicide as a noble heroic act, and it is reflected in their writings (especially the works of Seneca). In addition, suicide in India is practiced in the form of religious acts, asceticism, and so on. Scenes of suicide on the comedy stage that also reflect life abound, such as those who die for love, such as the famous Chinese drama "The Orphan of Zhao", in which all the noble characters end in suicide. There is also a suicide part in "Dream of Red Mansions". "Hamlet", "Romeo and Juliet", etc.
For people living in pain, suicide is a way to get rid of the sea of suffering, in other words, it is only a superficial relief. Because we cannot achieve the highest moral goals, this is the reason against suicide, which is similar to what religion says suicide is a crime. Teachings believe that people are born to suffer. This is paradoxical to the act of suicide, so it will not be agreed.
All in all, if oneThe individual's fear of survival outweighs the fear of deathHe will go on the path of suicide, but he will hesitate to die, which is what we call "the exit from life is guarded by guards". Joining everyone in the end is negative, and allowing the end of life halfway, then I'm afraid, no one will not choose to terminate? Fortunately, there is an element that can stop suicide, and that is the body, because the body is the manifestation of people's existence, and all people are afraid of their physical destruction, which will cause them to be obscene and not to end the journey.
You must know that the guardians of life are not as strong as we think, especially when the physical body cannot satisfy the spiritual desires, for example, when our physical body suffers great pain, we will not care about other pains, and only hope that the pain will disappear. And for those who are mentally tortured, the physical pain when committing suicide is simply not worth mentioning, so the mental pain is more likely to make people embark on the road of suicide, especially those who have countless psychological problems that cannot be solved, those people will not restrain themselves at all, as long as there is no one around, they will choose to commit suicide, and in their eyes the pain is like a nightmare haunting them.
From another point of view, suicide is also an experiment, an experiment in which human beings seek answers from nature, to know how a person's cognition and life will change after death. However, this is the most unsuccessful experiment, because the consciousness of finding the answer will also disappear, and the answer will not be obtained at all.
