PHILOSOPHY OF MUSIC - RICCARDO MARTINELLI KARTO...

Ranging from Antiquity to contemporary analytic philosophy  it provides a concise but thorough
analysis of the arguments developed by some of the most outstanding philosophers of all times.
Besides the aesthetics of music proper  the volume touches upon metaphysics  ethics  philosophy
of language  psychology  anthropology  and scientific developments that have influenced the
philosophical explanations of music. Starting from the very origins of philosophy in Western
thought (Pythagoras  Plato  Aristotle) the book talks about what music is according to
Augustine  Descartes  Leibniz  Rousseau  Kant  Hegel  the Romantics  Schopenhauer  Nietzsche 
Wittgenstein  Susanne Langer  Bloch  Adorno  and many others. Recent developments within the
analytic tradition are illustrated with particular attention to the ontology of the musical
artwork and to the problem of music and emotions. A fascinating idea which recurs throughout
the book is that philosophers allow for a sort of a secret kinship between music and philosophy
as means to reveal complementary aspects of truth.
