Etymology
Schopenhauer is a German family name and here refers to the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who is famous for his rather gloomy ideas. A helpful way to remember it is to notice the ending hauer, like the German verb 'hauen' meaning 'to cut', so imagine a sharp thinker 'cutting' through ideas, and that picture helps you recall the name.
