Sound and Symbol

Sound and Symbol

Victor Zuckerkandl
Role: Author

Victor Zuckerkandl’s study, Sound and Symbol, is an approach to music as an instrument of philosophical inquiry, seeking not so much a philosophy of music as a philosophy through music. In it he seeks to answer “How music is possible?” Much like Kant sought to answer “How is natural science possible?,” Zucherkandl seeks to find what must the world be like, what must I be like if between me and the world the of phenomenon of music can occur? How must I consider the world, how must I consider myself if I am to understand the reality of music.
