For those who are into philosophy do you have a favorite philosopher or philosophy? Or is there one that resonates with you more than others?

For a long time I always loved the mind of Nietzsche. I wanted to always have hope and believe in a better world. His aestheticism, existentialism, and anti-nihilistic viewpoints always made me feel a bit better in a way. It really helped me to understand life and cemented my beliefs for a long time.

Though within the past year I have grown really fond of Arthur Schopenhauer. This may be because I am in a downward spiral quickly crashing and I have decided to ctb but still his writings make me feel a way that I've never really felt. His words have reached me at my lowest and I feel seen and heard and understood. His teachings have relaxed my attitude about death and have helped me to feel more at peace about my decisions.

I'd love to hear some of your thoughts!

I do not have a favorite philosopher.

Currently, I am reading Immanuel Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics.

I have some of Nietzsche's works, and some Schopenhauer as well as other philosophical works.
