Wagner's Tristan has often--even by Lichtenberger--been described
as a philosophic work; and as abstract thought or philosophy, it is
said, is foreign to art, a work which admits it must be condemned.
Let us first understand what is meant by philosophy. It is surely a
train of thought in the mind of the spectator, not in the object
which he contemplates. Anything in the world may be the subject of
philosophic thought, or may suggest it; there is plenty of
philosophy to be drawn from a daisy, but we do not therefore call a
daisy a philosophic flower. So, too, we may philosophize about
Wagner's Tristan, but the philosophy is our own; it is not in the
work.
