With this end in view, three retrospects/perspectives are examined which can be traced throughout the history of the music-philosophy relation. The first looks back at the two basic words referring to music in Greek philosophy （armonia and musikg） in order to find out how the human ability for musical knowledge can be activated when these two are brought together. The second focuses on what lies at the heart of music, namely the thing which can be defined as the tone-ness of the tone. The third explores the art-and-science content of music, which allows for a further perspective to be drawn forth--a perspective on musical knowledge proceeding from, though at the same time remaining with music as a mode of human existence.展开更多
