Quoted By:
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was a classical german existensialist philosopher living and working in the 1800s, a long time before the antinatalism term was invented, but he was talking about the same thing and is seen a father figure of the movement. Schopenhauer is traditionally known to be the grandfather of Pessimism. He is widely known for his excellent grumpy witty charm!
He has been very influential in philosophy, to people like Fredrich Nietzsche, but has actually been even more influential in art, like painting and literature.
