@.2798916: “Life is a means to death, and death is the end of life.” Mainländer’s relationship with his sister Minna was close and affectionate, and she was one of the most important people in his life. He trusted her and remained in contact with her, despite the fact that his pessimism and isolation made his relationships generally complicated. After his death, she helped preserve his legacy and publish his works. Fifteen years later, Minna also died by suicide, apparently deeply affected by his loss. #fyp #philosophy #philosopher #nihilism #mainländer
