A particularly rich field of investigation, developed between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was the British philosophy of the mind and of human understanding which looked at music and found in its realm a way of understanding human experience. Maria Semi sheds light on how these reflections moved towards a Science of Music: the discipline that was later to be known as 'musicology'.MusicologyGreat BritainHistory18th centuryMusicPhilosophy and aestheticsHistory18th centuryMusic theoryHistory18th centuryElectronic books.MusicologyHistoryMusicPhilosophy and aestheticsHistoryMusic theoryHistory780.94109033Semi Maria858137Keates Timothy858138MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465475403321Music as a science of mankind in eighteenth-century Britain1915856UNINA
