[ILL-L] Schopenhauer (Philosophy)

[Jacobs, Tom]

Can anyone verify if this story actually happened? I appreciate you
help.

"The story is told of the day Arthur Schopenhauer (the well known
philosopher) was visiting the public gardens. One plant so captured his
attention that he pored over it for a very long time. A police officer,
his suspicions aroused, approached him and demanded, "Who are you?"
Schopenhauer looked the officer in the eye. "Sir, if you could only
answer that question for me, I'd be eternally grateful."

Peace,

Tom
