Abstract

First of all, the main subject of the present work is to investigate the relation between Vladimir Jankélévitch’s philosophy and Georg Simmel’s works. Such task accomplishes three streams: The first chapter is concerned with the beginning of “philosophy of life”, explaining the importance of “life”, “experience” and “intuition” as new concepts that arise with a new meaning in philosophy. The second chapter, devoted to the relations between art and life, is based in Simmel’s Lebensanschauung theory. And in the third chapter of this work, we attempt to expose the “philosophy of landscape” and the idea of Stimmung that surpasses not only the concept of landscape but also the concept of music in Jankélévitch’s musical aesthetics.
