Discover information, advice, and prices for Galileo and the Invention of sold for 169.74 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Intended for scholars in the fields of philosophy history of science and music this book examines the legacy of the historical coincidence of the emergence of science and opera in the early modern period But instead of regarding them as finished products or examining their genesis or common ground or parallel ideas opera and science are explored by a phenomenology of the formulations of consciousness Gurwitsch as compossible tasks to be accomplished in common Schutz which share an ideal possibility or essence Husserl Although the ideas of Galileo and Monteverdi form the parameters of the domain of phenomenological clarification the scope of discussion extends from Classical ideas of science and music down to the beginning of the nineteenth century but always with reference to the experience of sharing the sociality of a common world from which they are drawn Plessner and to which those ideas have given shape meaning and even substance At the same time this approach provides a nonhistoricist alternative to understanding the arts and science of the modern period by critically clarifying the idea of whether their compossibility can rest on any other formulation of consciousness
