Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) stands out in the pantheon of Western philosophers as the exponent of an absolutely pessimistic view of life and an advocate for the supremacy of will over reason, a notion that underscores the work he composes, aiming to provide a descriptive portrayal of the intellectual essence of humanity.
In fact, his second appreciation holds greater weight and leads to the first, as he considers will to be an intrinsic evil inherent to human nature.
Due to these two deeply rooted perceptions within him, he arrives at the point of attributing a significantly valuable place to the arts, and specifically to music, within the general framework of the view he outlines for life.
If this is seen as a paradoxical accumulation of disconnected ideas, then the purpose of this small and concise book is to study the way in which Schopenhauer manages to combine them.
