Gândirea lui Claude Debussy şi filosofia intuiţiei
Abstract
Bergson’s perspective seems to surmount the inaccessible heights of the time when he lived, bringing his tremendous contribution to the artistic tendencies. Nobody knows whether Debussy had ever read Bergson (his essay was to be published in 1889, when the musical impressionism had not emerged yet and none of Debussy’s publications had ever been printed). Nevertheless it is a well-known fact the Debussy was interested in philosophy, literature, theatre, symbolic or impressionistic art. All these would exert upon him a considerable influence whose experience seemed to be influenced by the thinking of the great philosopher. Debussy expresses in a common language which lacks the pretensions of the philosophic depth, his time’s dominant tendency, marked by the aversion against the evil spirit of reason, the romantic panaesthetism, the religiousness for nature, the abandoning of traditional aesthetics.
