With original essays by philosophers, psychologists, musicians, literary critics, and ethno-musicologists, The Philosophy of Rhythm offers a broad perspective on rhythm-the fundamental pulse that animates music, dance, and poetry across all cultures. This wonderful collection considers questions about rhythm from a wide variety of angles, perspectives, and disciplines-among them analytic and continental philosophy, musicology, art history, poetics, and neuroscience. Like the dialogue that opens the book, The Philosophy of Rhythm supports no particular line of thought or argument but enormously deepens our understanding of a topic so palpable and yet so mysterious.
