| Description: | PHI 299-01 = MUS 104 : History and Philosophy of Music. In the West, music and philosophy have exerted influence upon one another from Antiquity to the present day. In this course, we will survey relationships and mutual interactions between music and philosophy throughout history. Central questions of the course will include: What is the relationship between music and the emotions? Is music the language of the emotions? For that matter, is music a language at all? What do works of music mean, and how do they have these meanings? We will address these questions by analyzing the nature of music, aesthetics, and composition using specific case studies from Western music history and philosophy. In so doing, we will seek to understand relationships between different modes of philosophical thinking and musical styles. This class is co-taught by professors from the philosophy and music departments, and it has no prerequisites. No background in either music or philosophy is required to participate in this course. |
