Music and Transcendence explores the ways in which music relates to
transcendence by bringing together the disciplines of musicology,
philosophy and theology, thereby uncovering congruencies between
them that have often been obscured. Music has the capacity to take
one outside of oneself and place one in relation to that which is
'other'. This 'other' can be conceived in an 'absolute' sense,
insofar as music can be thought to place the self in relation to a
divine 'other' beyond the human frame of existence. However, the
'other' can equally well be conceived in an 'immanent' (or secular)
sense, as music is a human activity that relates to other cultural
practices. Music here places the self in relation to other people
and to the world more generally, shaping how the world is
understood, without any reference to a God or gods. The book
examines how music has not only played a significant role in many
philosophical and theological accounts of the nature of existence
and the self, but also provides a valuable resource for the
creation of meaning on a day-to-day basis.
