The Art Work Of The Future

""The Art Work of the Future"" is a book written by renowned German composer Richard Wagner, originally published in 1849. In this book, Wagner presents his vision for the future of art, particularly music, and how it can be used to achieve a higher level of human consciousness. He argues that art should not be created merely for entertainment or commercial purposes, but rather as a means of expressing the deepest emotions and spiritual experiences of humanity. Wagner also discusses the role of technology in art, suggesting that new advancements can be used to enhance the emotional impact of music and other art forms. Throughout the book, Wagner draws on examples from his own work as a composer, as well as from other artists and cultural movements of his time. ""The Art Work of the Future"" remains a significant and influential work in the history of art and aesthetics.If Mind has manufactured Nature, if Thought has made the Actual, if the Philosopher comes before the Man: then Nature, Actuality and Man are no more necessary, and their existence is not only superfluous but even harmful; for the greatest superfluity of all is the lagging of the Incomplete when once the Complete has come to being. In this wise Nature, Actuality and Man would only then have any meaning, or any pretext for their presence, when Mind-- the unconditioned Spirit, the only cause and reason, and thus the only law unto itself--employed them for its absolute and sovereign pleasure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
