Philosophies of music in medieval Islam

by Fadlou Shehadi

This work surveys the philosophies of music of important thinkers in Islam between the ninth and 15th centuries AD. It covers topics including: the physics and aesthetics of sound; the nature of music; its place in the total scheme of things and in human life; the relation between music, astronomy, astrology and meteorology; the relation between music and human feelings, character and behaviour; and the question of whether a good Muslim should be allowed to listen to music at all, and if so, to which sorts. The book traces the influence of Greek - in particular Pythagorean and Aristoxenian - thinking in Islam on this subject, and aims to provide a clarification of the central arguments of the Islamic writers concerned as well as a critical evaluation of their line of thought. The author introduces a wide range of material from manuscript sources.
