I can’t say that I “like Schopenhauer and hate Nietzsche”, but my personal appreciation of Schopenhauer’s philosophy may be much higher than that of Nietzsche’s philosophy.

There are many reasons.

For example, when I read Schopenhauer’s philosophy, I am often very surprised by the rich and advanced ideas contained in it, such as his insights on issues such as rationality, representation, will, and language, and on logical categories. The depth of elucidation of issues such as this is definitely not comparable to that of Nietzsche.

For another example, Schopenhauer's philosophy is very inspiring. If you have read "The World as Will and Representation", you will understand this deeply. I have long been confused about the discussion of the important issue of "self-consciousness" after Kant's philosophy. After reading this book, I learned a lot and even formed some of my own opinions. This is not something Nietzsche can compare with.

In addition, although Nietzsche’s writing style is also very beautiful, I prefer Schopenhauer’s writing style. The explanation is clear, vivid and delicate, and it makes people feel like spring breeze after reading it. This, of course, refers to his original German work. Reading the original German versions of Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung and Paranesen und Maximen is definitely a pleasure; however, reading the Chinese translations of "The World as Will and Representation" and "Collected Essays" (the most popular works of Schopenhauer) is definitely a pleasure. In my opinion, most Chinese translations are really poor), so it is difficult to find this feeling.

There is a popular saying nowadays that Schopenhauer's philosophy is incomplete, and the "philosophy" created by Nietzsche after transforming it is thorough, or at least Nietzsche's philosophy is a reflection of The transcendence of Schopenhauer's philosophy. If I remember correctly, the first person to put forward this argument was Zhou Guoping's "Turning Point". Originally, the views put forward by a scholar who was new to German philosophy, and what he said in a popular philosophy book that was not very rigorous, could be considered a family opinion. Unfortunately, this book later became the main way to explore philosophy for the vast majority of "Nietzscheans" who do not read diligently, do not study and think independently, but like to take it for granted. This view is still popular today. In my opinion, Nietzsche's philosophy is actually a regression from Schopenhauer. What truly transcends Schopenhauer's philosophy is the existential philosophy of the 20th century, including even Wittgenstein's philosophy. As for Nietzsche...
