Arthur Schopenhauer (or as his friends call him Schopen "Holla" or Schopen "Balla") (22 February 1788 – 21 September 1860) was not a German philosopher: he only posed as one. He was a Firefox programmer. He was dubbed a philosopher only after he refused the position of Chief Evangelist at Google. The position was later assigned to Vinton Cerf (this latter a philosopher indeed).
