Intended for scholars in the fields of philosophy, history of
science and music, this book examines the legacy of the historical
coincidence of the emergence of science and opera in the early
modern period. But instead of regarding them as finished products
or examining their genesis, or `common ground', or `parallel'
ideas, opera and science are explored by a phenomenology of the
formulations of consciousness (Gurwitsch) as compossible tasks to
be accomplished in common (Schutz) which share an ideal possibility
or `essence' (Husserl). Although the ideas of Galileo and
Monteverdi form the parameters of the domain of phenomenological
clarification, the scope of discussion extends from Classical ideas
of science and music down to the beginning of the nineteenth
century, but always with reference to the experience of sharing the
sociality of a common world from which they are drawn (Plessner)
and to which those ideas have given shape, meaning and even
substance. At the same time, this approach provides a
non-historicist alternative to understanding the arts and science
of the modern period by critically clarifying the idea of whether
their compossibility can rest on any other formulation of
consciousness.
