Unironically kill yourself.

Wagner's prose works, as you must ask why you should read them, are some of the most important of the 19th century, really the most important after Hegel (and Schopenhauer) for aesthetics, not to mention in an array of other fields from psychology (just take how much he preceded Hartmann) to politics. Not to mention they're brilliant works on their own.

Plebs will always be pompously filtered by the idea of the "music drama".

Not to mention it's impossible, it's literally just a joke.

I'm confused, do people actually think this guy is a good debater because he gets stuck on unimportant miniscule issues with retards who are willing to debate him on them like vaush?

Do midwits really mistake this for argumentative skills and a large knowledge base?

Anon, this has to be bait, but to answer your question you're coming from an artificial and inauthentic view of great men, heroism and truth and beauty. It is neither actually a Nietzschean perspective, while it pretends to be, and neither at all any relevancy in traditional thinking such as with Heidegger.

But to answer your question, The Divine and the Decay by Bill Hopkins, which thankfully you will never be able to get your hands on because of its rarity.

Oh anon, I think you're missing something here.
