Many technical terms and compositional techniques in music are derived from, or, at least, are directly related to the ideas of philosophers. The goal of this seminar is to trace the relationship between phenomenological reduction and Schenkerian reduction, between Husserlian perception of time and that of composers of the post-WWII avant-garde, to illuminate the changes in philosophy of language in analytical tradition and in critical theory as they affected music theory of the recent decades.
