Overview: Philipp Mainländer (5 October 1841-1 April 1876) was a German philosopher and poet. Born Philipp Batz, he later changed his name to Mainländer in homage to his hometown, Offenbach am Main.
In his central work Die Philosophie der Erlösung (The Philosophy of Redemption or The Philosophy of Salvation), according to Theodor Lessing, “perhaps the most radical system of pessimism known to philosophical literature”, Mainländer proclaims that life is worthless, and that “the will, ignited by the knowledge that non-being is better than being, is the supreme principle of morality.”
