| Summary |
"This book examines the multiple ways in which music may provide insight into the problematics of human time. Whether in the purported timelessness of Beethoven's late works or the nostalgic impulses of Schubert's music, in the use of music by philosophers as a means to explicate the aporias of temporal existence or as medium suggestive of the varying possible structures of time, as a reflection of a particular culture's sense of historical progress or the expression of the intangible spirit behind the course of human history, each of the book's chapters explores a specific theme in the philosophy of time as expressed through music. At once historical, analytical, critical, and ultimately hermeneutic, it provides fresh insight into many familiar nineteenth-century pieces and a rich theoretical basis for future research."--Provided by publisher |
