This chapter asks what we can know through music. I present Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s “Eye and Mind” as epistemological in nature and extend the claims that he makes there about painting to music. To bolster this interpretive move, I discuss Merleau-Ponty’s contemporaneous writings, which, I argue, point to the beginnings of a musical epistemology that was never completed. I connect the epistemological approach to music that I present via Merleau-Ponty to current approaches to the study of music in the ‘4e’ cognitive sciences.

摘要

This chapter asks what we can know through music. I present Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s “Eye and Mind” as epistemological in nature and extend the claims that he makes there about painting to music. To bolster this interpretive move, I discuss Merleau-Ponty’s contemporaneous writings, which, I argue, point to the beginnings of a musical epistemology that was never completed. I connect the epistemological approach to music that I present via Merleau-Ponty to current approaches to the study of music in the ‘4e’ cognitive sciences.
