Abstract

In this paper I initially try to explain what makes metaphysical claims so problematic. The major difficulty is that the metaphysician cannot make statements about the thing-in-itself without interpreting phenomena by means of concepts that always involve mind and language. The clearcut separation Schopenhauer draws between thought and language consigns any supposed metaphysical cognition to the domain of pre-verbal or sensory-motor cognition, which could hardly claim absolute or universal validity. I then examine Wagner's appropriation of Schopenhauer's views on opera and this reveals great differences between the composer and the philosopher.
