Description

Explore the deep connection between musical theory and ancient thought with Music and Philosophy in the Roman Empire. This scholarly work from Cambridge University Press examines whether music is merely the production of notes or something much deeper. By analyzing various authors and philosophical trends throughout the Roman Empire, this book reveals how musical concepts were used to understand the world. Readers will follow the evolution of these ideas from Philo of Alexandria to Alexander of Aphrodisias, through the rebirth of Platonism with Plutarch, and up to the last Neoplatonists. The text demonstrates how musical terms were not just metaphors, but essential tools for thinkers. Concepts like harmony, concord, and attunement served as methods to conceptualize fundamental ideas in ancient philosophy. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the history of music, classical studies, and the development of philosophical discourse.
