The Philosophy of Music

The philosophy of music explores questions about the nature and value of music, such as what makes music meaningful, how it affects our emotions, and whether it has intrinsic worth or relies on human perception. It examines how music communicates, its role in culture and identity, and how we understand and interpret musical experience. Essentially, it seeks to understand music not just as sound, but as a profound aspect of human life that influences thought, feeling, and society.
