Abstract
The present study allows to understand through the bibliographical review the thematic encounter of the relationship between philosophy and music from the philosophical experience in Schopenhauer. The objective is to propose a philosophy of aesthetic experience with emphasis on music based on the postulates of the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. The article is divided into four thematic sections. The first deals with the closeness that Schopenhauer had with music, as a knowledgeable scholar and at the same time as an empirical musician, who played the flute with mastery. The second one works on metaphysics and music from the thought of our author, conceiving music as the way to truth. The third follows, which, from metaphysics, involves an ethics based on the aesthetic experience. Finally, the fourth, manifests the aesthetic legacy of Schopenhauer in great musicians and philosophers of history such as Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Mahler; on the side of the philosophers we have Nietzsche, Mainländer and Cioran. The focus will be on the philosophical influence of Wagner in many of his compositions, due to the influence of Schopenhauer. Finally, it is concluded that music as a metaphysical experience and spiritual expression is also an ethic for the betterment of the human condition. The academic contribution of the article is based more on a philosophical criterion on the free reflection that embraces a matter of importance for humanity such as music.
