Generally speaking, the philosophy of music hitherto can be said to
approach music, as it were, from above or from outside. Music, thus
envisaged, can be "absolute" or "sounding forms in motion". It can
be expression, have a linguistic meaning, tell a story, be a
manifestation of "the world as will and conceptualization", and
mirror society's inward contradictions. Music is seen as an
activity, sometimes as interactivity, not least through an
anthropological approach in which prominence is given to its
origins. This work is an attempt to reverse the argument, by taking
the phenomenon of tone as the starting point to work the way up to
an understanding of the phenomenon of music, to make a philosophy
of tone the foundation of a philosophy of music. Such thoughts were
already present in the author's previous works, but, being
available only in Swedish, will be enlarged here.
