Music and Philosophy
A Comparison


   
 
Like the sci­en­tific sys­tem of phi­loso­phy, mu­sic, too, distin-guishes be­tween the ob­jects of knowl­edge, the sub­ject which knows, and the proc­ess of know­ing which links the sub­ject and the ob­ject.

 
The Knower – the Object of Knowing – the Process of Knowing
 
 
The se­cret of the suc­cess of mu­sic – par­ticu­larly with the sim­ple man, but just as much with the com­pe­tent thinker – lies in the fact that mu­sic re­fines the struc­ture of the ob­ject un­der con­sid­era­tion in a dis­creet man­ner.

 
The Secret of Success of Music
 
 
We call it the ar­tis­tic form, but also in part: the in­ter­pre­ta­tion.

   
 
By means of this proc­ess of re­fine­ment, the mu­si­cian brings the ob­ject of con­sid­era­tion in a most dis­creet and unob­tru­sive man­ner closer and closer to us lis­ten­ers and to our self-aware­ness.

 
The Musical Process of Refinement of the Object of Cognition
 
 
And in his mu­sic he em­ploys the means of loving and pa­tient, elucidating and apolo­getic ex­plana­tion from the level of his heart.

   
 
Fi­nally, mu­sic ad­vances the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of the in­fi­nitely re­fined, re­sound­ing ob­ject of con­sid­era­tion with our self-aware­ness, and we per­ceive the ful­fill­ing unity of our in­ner truth with what pre­vi­ously ap­peared so sepa­rate from us – with the world, pre­vi­ously so es­tranged to us, with crea­tion which pre­vi­ously un­folded so in­de­pend­ent from us.

 
The Art of Musical Enlightenment
 
 
What makes mu­sic an ideal tool of com­pre­hen­sive phi­loso­phi­cal cog­niz­ing – as dif­fer­ent from the com­mon prac­tice of phi­loso­phiz­ing or sci­en­tifi­cally ana­lyz­ing in words and in writ­ing – is the fact that mu­sic is able to stimu­late our feel­ing and our un­der­stand­ing si­mul­ta­ne­ously to cog­ni­tion.

 
The Philosophical Gaining of Truth in Music
 
 
And since phi­loso­phy means “love of truth,” and since love is un­think­able with­out the feel­ing be­ing in­volved, we must as­sume that for phi­loso­phy, and be­yond that for any kind of com­pre­hen­sive ac­qui­si­tion of knowl­edge, mu­sic is a means of gain­ing knowl­edge more quali­fied than the com­mon prac­tice of verbal or writ­ten in­tel­lec­tual dis­cus­sion – ex­clud­ing poetry, for one thing, which is ca­pa­ble of stimu­lat­ing the feel­ing more than in­tel­lec­tual dis­cus­sion.
