The Drama of redemption:

Nietzsche's critique on Wagner's Parsifal

  • Fernando R. de Moraes Barros
Keywords: Nietzsche, Wagner, Musical physiopsychology, Redemption.

Abstract

It aims at showing how Nietzsche, in undertaking a physiopsychological analysis of musical pieces, not only applies the genealogical procedure to his aesthetics but also turns the critique of Wagner’s last musical drama – Parsifal – into the ideal moment to unmask the stratagems within the very idea of redemption, which impels us – at least in a Nietzschean point of view – to call into question our most important value judgments.
