Music and the Ineffable

Music and the Ineffable

by Carolyn Abbate (Translator), VladimirJankelevitch (Author)

Synopsis

Deals with classical issues in the philosophy of music, including metaphysics and ontology. This book argues that music is not a hieroglyph, nor a language or sign system. It argues that music is 'ineffable', because it cannot be pinned down, and has a capacity to engender limitless resonance in several domains.
