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.
