Is music just matter of hearing and producing notes? And is it of
interest just to musicians? By exploring different authors and
philosophical trends of the Roman Empire, from Philo of Alexandria
to Alexander of Aphrodisias, from the rebirth of Platonism with
Plutarch to the last Neoplatonists, this book sheds light on
different ways in which music and musical notions were made a
crucial part of philosophical discourse. Far from being mere
metaphors, notions such as harmony, concord and attunement became
key philosophical tools in order to better grasp and conceptualise
fundamental notions in philosophical debates from cosmology to
ethics and from epistemology to theology. The volume is written by
a distinguished international team of contributors.
