Content

Through a range of philosophical texts, writers, theoreticians and musicians, students will be introduced to the history of Music Philosophy. Key concepts in the field of Aesthetics (such as Ontology, time and space, languages, reason-emotion and mimesis) will be defined during the course and summarized at a later stage, giving students an opportunity to develop their own critical vocabulary and apply this in a study of a work and/or period chosen by them.
