2012Alessandro Pinzani. How much Schopenhauer is there really in Wagner?. ethic@ - An international Journal for Moral Philosophy, v. 11, n. 2, p. 211-226, 2012.1

The paper aims at analyzing some Wagnerian figures in order to show that the influence of Schopenhauer’s philosophy on Wagner is not as strong as commonly held – at least not in his operas. The figures that shall be considered are: Wotan and Brünnhilde, Tristan and Isolde, and finally Parsifal, who appears to be the only Schopenhauerian character of all.
