Expression, Knowledge and Artistic Logic: Adorno on the Language of Music

摘要

Adorno believes that music is the most important art form and a typical artistic language.Music is pure,logical and linguistic.Music is an expression,i.e.,the vocalization of the unidentical things that are repressed.Music is also a kind of knowledge,with its own dialectical logic.Music has a negative truth,which allows it to be an immanent critique of society.
