"Beyond Reason relates Wagner's works to the philosophical and cultural ideas of his time, centering on the four music dramas he created in the second half of his career: Der Ring des Nibelungen, Tristan und Isolde, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and Parsifal. Karol Berger seeks to penetrate the "secret" of large-scale form in Wagner's music dramas and to answer those critics, most prominently Nietzsche, who condemned Wagner for his putative inability to weld small expressive gestures into larger wholes. Organized by individual opera, this is essential reading for both musicologists and Wagner experts."--Provided by publisher.

"Between 1888 and 1910 Gustav Mahler composed nine symphonies and part of his tenth before his death in 1911. Music for the Age of Uncertainty makes a radical claim: that over his lifetime, Mahler really composed just one ideal symphony. While each of his symphonies was distinct, Mahler strived to capture in his music a philosophical outlook on human existence. This book uncovers that worldview in the single symphony that Karol Berger asserts Mahler was composing all his life. Composing at the turn of the twentieth century, Mahler found himself in a spiritual situation in which all trust in firm foundations had evaporated. In Berger's analysis, each of Mahler's symphonies reflects his preoccupation with the suffering and transience of human existence. Through detailed analysis of the allegros, middle movements, and finales of Mahler's symphonies, Berger traces how the same images and plots appear in different works and the borderlines between each symphony can get porous. Music for the Age of Uncertainty locates Mahler's music within the matrix of intellectual currents that defined his epoch and offers a revelatory picture of the composer's musical way of being in the world"--

This philosophical theory of art has three main objectives: to shift the focus of aesthetics from What is art? to What is art for?; to describe the social and historical situation of art today; and to combine aesthetics with poetics and hermeneutics.
