Description
Vladimir Jankélévitch's Music and the Ineffable explores the philosophy of music, delving into metaphysics and ontology. This work challenges conventional notions of musical hermeneutics, arguing that music cannot be reduced to a hieroglyph or language system. Jankélévitch contends that music is not a cipher awaiting interpretation, nor does it express emotions or depict landscapes. Instead, he posits that music is entwined with human experience and the physical reality of performance. The result is an ineffable quality, where music generates limitless resonance across various domains. This book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of philosophy and music, one that has resonated with influential thinkers such as Roland Barthes and Catherine Clément.
