Thaumàzein at the Origin of Philosophy and Music
Journal Title: In Medias Res - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
The presentation exposes the essential relationship between philosophy and music in their common origin, uncovering it in its obviousness, and which, for this reason, remains beautiful in its essence and all the more, mysterious. This relationship is well preserved in all rhythmic elements of poetry, especially in the metric of ancient culture. My aim will be to think about music in philosophical terms, in the same way we can think about the original philosophy. You can conceive this thought process as a ‘game’ which nowadays continues by going back to the same questioning. A game in which every possible answer ends up generating new questions. Because, as Heinrich Heine puts it, “So we keep asking, over and over / until a handful of earth / stops our mouths- / but is that an answer?”
