| Abstrakt: | The article interprets philosopher Plotinus' view of music which is classified into four groups such as imitative, practical, productive and theoretical. It correlates Susanne Langer's theory of music as presentational symbol which lies the thesis of isomorphism. It also notes that Plotinus regarded music, especially sensible music and mathematical, as a more valuable medium than other arts for attaining the higher reality. |
