Music, Science, Philosophy
This book stresses the interrelatedness of knowledge by extricating models that cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries. For example, science can find models from the technology and semantic field of music, music can find its models from the technology and semantic field of science, and each domain may be guided by a philosophical or metaphysical principle - thus, the title of the book. But the book itself is structured as a mirror image o…

Musicology and the problem of knowledge
In 1988–1989, in an optimistic assessment of interpretive strategies then current in musical scholarship, I celebrated the achievements of the Musicological Society of Australia as an organization that encouraged a broad definition of musical scholarship, that represented a multiplicity of critical methods, and that created a climate and a journal where dialogue, even polemics, could take place (Kassler 1988–1989). Subsequently, political and soc…
Edmund Gurney's The Power of Sound (1880)
This article aims to advance the contextualisation of Gurney's thesis, begun in Part I, by examining some of the “dangerous tendencies” that Gurney sought to oppose. Particular attention is given to the speech and movement theories of Herbert Spencer, who waited until the death of Darwin and Gurney to reply to their criticisms
Edmund Gurney's The Power of Sound (1885)
In his 1880 treatise, Edmund Gurney argued that music is superior to other arts in the culture it supplies to the mind. Because his thesis has escaped the notice of modern interpreters, this article aims to contextualise that thesis by examining how Gurney utilised, for his own purposes, certain premisses from aesthetics, evolutionary theory and experimental psychology
Metaphor
Pleyel as Music Publisher
In Australia the history of the music trades is an underdeveloped area of research, one that is almost completely ignored by musicologists.1 Because of the way Australia was settled, the principal historical background derives chiefly, but not solely, from the British Isles, where, in 1859, Bennet Woodcroft, an engineer and patent agent, produced a series of abridgments of patent specifications that included one on printing 1617-1857 and another …

The dancing chimpanzee
Music origin theories, by their very nature, must be highly speculative, since they invoke a past for which there is very little, if any, factual record. Yet, one or another music origin theory generally underpins most systematic writings on music and offers clues to the frequently undeclared metaphysics of authors of such writings. The book under review (revised from its 1967 edition) is no exception, for the author's purpose is to refute (in 92…
