Ranging from Antiquity to contemporary analytic philosophy, it
provides a concise but thorough analysis of the arguments developed
by some of the most outstanding philosophers of all times. Besides
the aesthetics of music proper, the volume touches upon
metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of language, psychology,
anthropology, and scientific developments that have influenced the
philosophical explanations of music. Starting from the very origins
of philosophy in Western thought (Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle) the
book talks about what music is according to Augustine, Descartes,
Leibniz, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, the Romantics, Schopenhauer,
Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Susanne Langer, Bloch, Adorno, and many
others. Recent developments within the analytic tradition are
illustrated with particular attention to the ontology of the
musical artwork and to the problem of music and emotions. A
fascinating idea which recurs throughout the book is that
philosophers allow for a sort of a secret kinship between music and
philosophy, as means to reveal complementary aspects of truth.
