This book is about the human mental capacities that are mostly
veiled in the use of language yet can be revealed through music
activities. In speech, just one word is articulated at the time,
whereas in music different pitches sound simultaneously. This
conflict demonstrates that rationality must be regarded as
relative, as rationality in music may create chaos in speech.
Moreover, investigating the role of sound in synesthesia reveals
that its aesthetic combinations are related to the human capacity
to enjoy different types of harmonies in music. Drawing on new
research regarding synesthesia as a more fundamental basis for
human cognition, this book brings this a step further by
introducing synesthesia as a general metacognitive process, hinting
at the aesthetical origin of fundamental logical operations.
Bringing together a number of cultural perspectives on music,
language, and mathematics, this volume expertly illustrates that
music reveals a fundamental system that deeply combines the
sensorial and the intellectual human capacities.
