This is the first volume to explore the reception of the
Pythagorean doctrine of cosmic harmony within a variety of
contexts, ranging chronologically from Plato to 18th-century
England. This original collection of essays engages with
contemporary debates concerning the relationship between music,
philosophy, and science, and challenges the view that Renaissance
discussions on cosmic harmony are either mere repetitions of
ancient music theory or pre-figurations of the 'Scientific
Revolution'. Utilizing this interdisciplinary approach, Renaissance
Conceptions of Cosmic Harmony offers a new perspective on the
reception of an important classical theme in various cultural,
sequential and geographical contexts, underlying the continuities
and changes between Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
This project will be of particular interest within these emerging
disciplines as they continue to explore the ideological
significance of the various ways in which we appropriate the past.
