An 11oz mug with an original portrait of Schopenhauer that you will find only in the PEL store.

Product Description

The World as Will and Caffeination

"A man can do what he wants," Schopenhauer opined, "but not want what he wants." What you want but cannot want to want is a hot, probably caffeinated beverage. Thus...a mug.

Following Buddhism, Schopenhauer located human 'willing' as the source of all suffering and pain. He endeavored to show how aesthetic contemplation could provide a brief respite from the crushing burden of The Will and yet curiously, never mentioned the relief provided by a simple cup of coffee or tea.

You do not have to subscribe to the thesis of On the of the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason to recognize the palliative effects holding a ceramic vessel with a steaming beverage can have on your soul. It is enough to know that all beings are manifestations of the The Will and that as you gaze into your reflection in the mug, you see all others reflected back.

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion
