Product Description:
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.

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - not uninteresting, but... this is a survey of various medieval islamic thinkers' attitudes about music. the author traces greek ideas as they were adapted into islamic thought, and then includes a section about various attitudes about the question of the suitability of listening to music at all(!) while the book is not an uninteresting survey of material it would be hard to find elsewhere in english, I must say I don't think I have EVER read a book with so many silly spelling errors, syntax errors, and layout errors. the huge number of stupid errors makes you mistrust the actual information, which may or may not be unfair to the author, but is really a shocking failure on the part of the publisher. how do the publishers get away with this level of incompetence??!!?! + See Full Customer Review
