The so-called "Middle ages" were the real Renaissance

>>19223809
Such distinctions are meaningless except to distinguish between two different periods in history.

Wagner wasn't so different from those who came immediately before and after him.

reads like a butterpost, fucking die, maggot.

Man I just love choking on nigger's ball sacks

But it’s a cute kitten playing a trombone. He’s a Renaissance kitten.
Waggy is alright.

Tubby monks? What’d they do, invent sandwiches?

Fake butters.

Shame about the fucking neckbeard.

There has to be one samefag that keeps making all the Wagner threads. What’s this now? The 100th low effort Wagner thread this month? if this board really listens to opera like they pretend to do, they would have made threads about Verdi, Mozart, Rossini, who are all better than Wanger btw. The fact that there is never any Mozart thread is all you need to know. I wonder what it is about Wagner that attracts you guys.

I think Lynch could fit the bill of a Renaissance man.

This is a literature board and Wagner's literary output is far greater than that of Mozart, Verdi etc.

The emergence of consciousness

oof and I thought it would be the neolithic revolution. but thats even worse

The Fish-Tetradpod transition. Return to the ocean

Only the last renaissance man until the next renaissance

>>19223809
What's the requirements to be a renaissance man? What overlap is required?

>>19226660
The true requirement of the renaissance man is the achievement of contributing something of note in the fields one dabbles in. It is for this reason that Wagner is not a renaissance man, just a typical educated man of the humanist tradition, i.e., a multipotentialite. He doesn't need to be a renaissance man, however, because he is something ostensibly greater: the universal genius.

>>19224760
it doesn't go deep at all, Kaczynski is right since he's a stricto sensus materialist and not some brainfried idealists who thinks revolution are a product of man's will. the only thing that's deep is man's ability to cope. it seems endless

>>19224142
>he unironically thinks you have to live in the renaissance to be a renaissance man

>>19223809
The local opera is—for the first time since 2013—presenting one of Wagner's works. I was interested in going, but the opera website says you're barred from attending unless you show proof of vaccination. I'm sure the old man would have been thrilled by such (((authoritarianism))).

>>19224760
The Magna Carta and its consequences.

>>19227187
That doesn't explain anything. What's in modernity that allows people to be comfortable?

>>19227223
He might have done something about it.
>Richard Wagner the composer, at the time Royal Saxon Court Conductor, had been inspired by the revolutionary spirit since 1848 and was befriended by Röckel and Bakunin. He wrote passionate articles in the Volksblätter inciting people to revolt, and when fighting broke out he took a very active part in it, making hand grenades and standing as a look out at the top of the Kreuzkirche.

What are you, a petulant child?

More like read Hegel.

Lmao.

'Painter'
lol

>>19224724
But he sucks at all of those except movies

>>19223809
So basically a drone, right? None of this expect for the architect helps anyone in the long run

>>19224749
You don’t get it, Renaissance men are not supposed to excel in every field, but to have a tight grasp of them that it elevates their main field. Leonardo would not have been a god tier painter if he wasn’t hadn’t been proficient in architecture and engineering.

What's a good recording of Tristan & Isolde

I quite like his Lithography personally.

Some of his songs are pretty cool.

There are too many to choose from, but Carlos Kleiber is a go to

>>19223809
>last
oh yeah because Alejandro Jordowsky, Stalin, Karl Largerfeld, Marvin Minsky, Niki Lauda, Witgenstein, and Bowie are famous for nothing outside of Magic, Poetry, Photography, reanimating crab claws, and running an airline, and designing an apartment, and pantomime respectively.
