• Sommario/riassunto: This is the first study of its kind to address the presence of musical and acoustical metaphor in western science and philosophy from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present. The most difficult and controversial ideas of 20th century music are shown to connect with fundamental precepts of science and philosophy: existence, continuity, number, space, time, identity, and communication.
