The search for the origins of language was one of the most pressing
philosophical issues of the eighteenth century. What has often
escaped notice, however, is the fact that music figures prominently
in this search. This study analyses instances of thinking or
reasoning about music and music theory as they appear within the
logical and narrative structure of contemporary texts, including
writings by Rousseau, Diderot, Rameau and Condillac. These can only
be properly understood as part of an interdisciplinary project, as
situated within a field of larger cultural issues and concerns. The
author is interested in the ways in which music functions within
this discursive framework to facilitate links between language and
meaning, and between conceptions of an original society and an
ideal social order.
