朗格的情感符号理论在二十世纪占据着重要的地位,她站在哲学前沿的制高点上,运用辩证原理对音乐的情感、音乐的虚幻性质、音乐的直觉顿悟及音乐的内容与形式的关系等一系列的问题作了深刻的论述,显示了她哲学的深厚理论功底和音乐哲学的独特见解。她赋予音乐艺术的"生命形式"的情感符号的意义,为现代人探索音乐打开了思路,为音乐哲学向更科学的方向发展奠定了基础,研究她的理论有助于改变我国音乐哲学理论研究的现状,提高我国音乐哲学理论研究的水平。

With an important position of her emotion symbol theory in the 20th Century, Susanne Langer had stepped on the summit of philosophical frontier. She displayed a rich theoretical foundation in philosophy and her unique understanding of musical philosophy through her in - depth analysis, with the help of dialectic principle, of a series of ques- tions, such as the emotion of music, the delusion of music, the intuitional epiphany of music, and the relationship of the form and content of music. She endowed the art of music with the meaning of a life form of emotion symbol, which helps to pave a new way for modem people to study music, and to lay a foundation for the scientific development of mu- sical philosophy. The study of her theory can help change the current situation of music study in China and to improve the level of our musical philosophy research.
