I've heard of this philosopher before...most recently in terms of
all new concepts and ideas going through various stages...first
ridiculed, then opposed and finally serving as self-evident. The most
advantageous time to investigate and understand all concepts and ideas
is during the first two phases.

Can anyone point me towards some of Arthur Schopenhauer's works?
