Description
Wagner and Philosophy by Bryan Magee explores the composer's artistic development in relation to the philosophy of his time. This study delves into the connections between Wagner's music-dramas and the ideas of prominent thinkers, from pre-Marxist socialists to Feuerbach and Schopenhauer. Magee examines the complex relationship between words and music, as well as the interplay between conscious and unconscious mind, art and philosophy. The book tackles both the problematic aspects of Wagner's personality and his artistic genius in a balanced and thoughtful manner. By shedding new light on Wagner and his work, this comprehensive study offers fresh insights into the composer's life and legacy.
