Kant realized that what man perceives is not reality. It is only a conceptualized form of reality, given by man’s senses, by the way he perceives it through his neuronal apparatus, for reality is only an image, a chimera, a fiction that comes from our mind full of different concepts. Moreover, a man cannot understand beyond the processed version given by his own brain, for there is no way of “seeing” what is really there, before this perceptive and intellectual processing.
Schopenhauer approves him but he also makes some additions, by realizing that we can perceive that entity in its reality – that absolute reality – through our own bodies, due to the extremely rich knowledge we have, which is perceived from the inside and comes from feelings!
He also postulates that that knowledge cannot be conceptualized or explained, but it can be conveyed directly, without words, by means of arts.
And probably especially by means of music.
