Milena Radovan-Burja ; Odjel za izobrazbu učitelja i odgojitelja Sveučilište u Zadru

Abstract

The article confronts the perception of music of the English philosopher Francis Bacon (1561-1626), who incorporated his research of music and sound into efforts to use science and research to control the nature, with Aristotelian sources of his own perception of music. The article also discusses to what extent Bacon distanced himself from Aristotelianism and provided a completely different perception of music and sound within his perception of the philosophy of nature. Additionally, the article discusses how Aristotle (384-322 BC) interpreted the sound within the nature and soul and explained the educational role and importance of music for man and its existence.
