“What better way to begin rebuilding our moral community than by greeting strangers as fellow sufferers? For this reason alone, the great pessimist’s ethics of compassion and solidarity is one we urgently need now.”

Thoughtful review of my book by Morten Høi Jensen for @commonwealmagazine.org “One of the virtues of Bather Woods’s biography is that it encourages us to follow Schopenhauer’s pessimism through to the kernel of compassion at its center.”
