How music helps resolve our deepest inner conflicts
It’s a question that has puzzled scientists and philosophers for centuries. 2,400 years ago Aristotle wondered, “Why does music, being just sounds, remind us of the states of our soul?”
As knowledge has been accumulated,contradictions multiplied and correspondingly more varied emotions had to evolve.
While language differentiated psyche, music unified it. Thus theneed for refined musical emotionsin the process of cultural evolution is grounded in fundamental mechanisms of cognition. This is why today’s human mind and cultures cannot exist without today’s music.
Kom musiken före talet? Eller kom talet före musiken?
Musik förenar över språkbarriärer.
Musik kan fungera likt Valium. Intrapersonella och interpersonella kognitiva dissonanser mildras.
Känslomässigt är musiken viktigare än talet?
