Text for the back cover of the revised version of the book: Aesthetic Intuition as a Foundation for Signification (Author: M. Santos)

(Work in progress)

The human will to live is based on the Cosmic Will which it never poses as a phenomenon.

In this book, Metaphysics is the philosophizing that aims at the ultimate explanation of all original phenomena, as such and taken from their totality, that is, from the World.

However, Metaphysics of Beauty is characterized as philosophizing anchored in a romantic vision par excellence, as it highlights an exaltation of music as a privileged way of accessing Reality ("das Ding und sich").

Thus, the works of the great geniuses of humanity mediate the overcoming of the need for desire and reason, both of which imply the maintenance of human suffering in this world.

About the mere knowledge guided by the phenomena, we emphasize that it is a vulgar optimism. In Metaphysical Pessimism: Ethics and Aesthetics are twins, that is, the Metaphysics of Ethics is based on the conscious denial of mere self-interested desire, which occurs both to the sage and the artist; but that can happen to any human being.

Finally, we culminate in the immediate knowledge of aesthetic intuition, which is best related to the Music of the Spheres; the same is not true for the standards of Modern Science.
