Resumo: It can be said that music has had a certain autonomous development in relation with the aesthetical problems of the art philosophy. Its semantic affinity with the other arts was always delicate and problematic, making that music, in the history of aesthetic, floated between the extremes of “hierarchy” of arts. Such a particularity occurs because music has always carried a particular status which is a consequence of two problems: the high complexity of its technical means and its impossibility of expressing rational facts of daily language. The discussion about the superiority or lack of expressivity of the music as an artistic expression can also be taken in a broader sense through the dichotomy rationality/irrationality: valorized because of its non-semantic and non-conceptual character, music would be placed in the top of arts, but in the rational understanding, it falls to the last place. Independently of the opinion of different authors concerning the expressivity of music as an artistic language, this discussion allows us to think about its place in the history of rational thought, as well as interpreter this rationality through an “object” that is, at the same time, highly rational (technical complexity) and non-conceptual (non-semantic).

Sua afi nidade semântica com as outras artes sempre foi delicada e problemática, fazendo com que, na história da estética, ela oscilasse entre os extremos da “hierarquia” das artes. Tal particularidade ocorre porque a música sempre carregou um status próprio, conseqüência, principalmente, de dois problemas: a alta complexidade dos meios técnicos com os quais se realiza e a impossibilidade de expressar fatos racionais da linguagem cotidiana. A discussão acerca da superioridade ou inexpressividade da música como expressão artística pode ser colocada também em linhas gerais através da dicotomia racionalidade/irracionalidade: valorizada em seu caráter assemântico e não conceitual ela estaria no topo das artes, mas, no entendimento racional, ela cai para o último. Independente da opinião de tal ou qual autor no que diz respeito à expressividade da música como linguagem artística, essa discussão nos permite identifi car qual é o seu lugar na história do pensamento racional, bem como interpretar essa racionalidade partindo de um objeto que é tanto altamente racional (sua complexidade técnica) quanto nãoconceitual (sua assemanticidade).Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto2017-04-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufop.br/raf/article/view/778Artefilosofia; v. 2 n. 2 (2007); 117-126Artefilosofia; Vol. 2 No. 2 (2007); 117-1262526-78921809-8274reponame:Artefilosofiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPporhttps://periodicos.ufop.br/raf/article/view/778/734Copyright (c) 2017 Revista ArteFilosofiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMenezes, Enrique2022-03-25T11:12:53Zoai:pp.www.periodicos.ufop.br:article/778Revistahttps://periodicos.ufop.br/raf/PUBhttps://periodicos.ufop.br/raf/oaiartefilosofia.defil@ufop.edu.br || periodicos.sisbin@ufop.edu.br1809-82742526-7892opendoar:2022-03-25T11:12:53Artefilosofia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false

description It can be said that music has had a certain autonomous development in relation with the aesthetical problems of the art philosophy. Its semantic affinity with the other arts was always delicate and problematic, making that music, in the history of aesthetic, floated between the extremes of “hierarchy” of arts. Such a particularity occurs because music has always carried a particular status which is a consequence of two problems: the high complexity of its technical means and its impossibility of expressing rational facts of daily language. The discussion about the superiority or lack of expressivity of the music as an artistic expression can also be taken in a broader sense through the dichotomy rationality/irrationality: valorized because of its non-semantic and non-conceptual character, music would be placed in the top of arts, but in the rational understanding, it falls to the last place. Independently of the opinion of different authors concerning the expressivity of music as an artistic language, this discussion allows us to think about its place in the history of rational thought, as well as interpreter this rationality through an “object” that is, at the same time, highly rational (technical complexity) and non-conceptual (non-semantic).
