About This Item
New York: Metropolitan Books. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. 0805067884 . Both book and dustjacket are in excellent condition. The author develops the link between several philosophers (mostly Schopenhauer) and the ideas and music of Richard Wagner. Even for readers who have no background in philosophy, but who want to get to know more about the ideas behind Wagner's masterpieces. Wagner's devotees have ranged from the subtlest minds (Proust) to the most brutal (Hitler). The enduring fascination with his works arises not only from his singular fusion of musical innovation and theatrical daring, but also from his largely overlooked engagement with the boldest investigations of modern philosophy. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 397 pages .
