Abstract

International audience ; The Marriage of Figaro is considered a key text in the history of liberalism, even though most turn to the comedy of Beaumarchais. Instead, the work of Mozart and Da Ponte is useful to anyone who wants to study the future of liberal democracy. This work has an immense philosophical significance, holding up very well the comparison with the major eighteenth-century philosophical significance, holding up very well the comparison with the major eighteenth-century philosophical interventions on the theme of brotherhood, in particular those of Rousseau and Herder. Nussbaum believes that its greatest effectiveness is in Mozart's music, more than in Da Ponte's verses.
