ABSTRACT
WHAT is music? What does music mean? Why do we have music? Philosophers from the ancient Greeks to today have written about the nature and value of music, and their ideas have had an enormous impact on music psychology. Chapter 1 contained a brief description of connections between philosophy and music; however, this is an area that is still somewhat under-utilized in much of the music psychology literature. In fact, no one has written a “philosophy of music psychology” book.
