Abstract

This paper explores the philosophy and the understanding of the aesthetic experience of F. Nietzsche out of the spirit of music. From the review of the philosophical and musical antecedents that influenced his philosophical conception of music, a new approach is proposed related to the long Nietzschean musical reflection, which moves from the Greek tragedy to the Wagnerian German drama and arrives to the opera Carmen by Bizet, all this with the purpose of showing the influence of Carmen´s music and its story on the philosopher’s mature thought and also elucidating the reasons for his enthusiasm for this work,  in which Nietzsche finally finds the desired state of drunkenness, the experience of vital knowledge and the artistic perfection.
