In the novel Schopenhauer's Therapy, Yalom imagines that a contemporary philosopher named Philip, who is an isolated person and a kind of copy of Schopenhauer, enters one of the treatment groups of a famous psychotherapist named Julius, who due to a sudden encounter with cancer - and his own death - revisits it. His life and work are sitting. Philip wishes to become a philosophical advisor by applying Schopenhauer's ideas, and for this purpose, he needs Julius' tutelage. But Julius wants the group members to help Philipp/Schopenhauer admit that it is human connection that gives meaning to life - something no one did for the historical Schopenhauer.
