    La música en Aristóteles
    (2019-06-12)
    Aristotle claims that music is essential for the citizen's education. Music, it seems, causes or moderates passions. Therefore, character's education through music is fundamental to the pólis, since political stability depends on the citizen's moral stability. Secondly: if, for what is said in Poetics, music is an imitation, then it is through music that we obtain certain knowledge. But what is the object of music's imitation? In Politics, Aristotle claims that music imitates passions, because music, for its acoustical origin, does not need any sign to refer passions. However, music is itself a passion. Then music is direct, as an imitation, that it is indeed way more important for the character's education. That is its political relevance. This conclusion, on the other hand, leads us to claim that Aristotle does not hold a figurative concept of art. © 2019 Centro de Investigacion Social Avanzada. All rights reserved.
