In this book, Joscelyn Godwin brings together three contemporary German thinkers who exemplify this tradition in its modern variants: Marius Schneider, Rudolf Haase, and Hans Erhard Lauer. The selections draw on ancient Indian sources and mythology; Kepler's Platonic vision of a musical, geometric universe; and the evolution of the tone systems of music. \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n While every music lover senses the power and truth that reside in music, very few actually approach music as a path to cosmic knowledge. Godwin takes literally Beethoven's assertion that \"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom or philosophy.\" Godwin writes, \". . .to penetrate the mysteries of music is to prepare for initiation into those fathomless mysteries of man and cosmos.\"","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42547992002718,"sku":"HPC-9780892810703","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/products\/9780892810703.jpg?v=1681651178","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780892810703","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
