The critique of causality in T. W. Adorno: a philosophicalmusical proposal through Atmosphères, by Ligeti
Keywords:
T. W. Adorno, Ligeti, causality, KantAbstract
This article has two parts: on the one hand, it attempts to outline the fundamental points of T. W. Adorno's critique of causality and, in particular, in reference to Aristotle and Kant. On the other hand, it made explicit the drift of this criticism in his own philosophical project, which pays special attention, in his late thoughts, to the music of the young composers of Darmstadt. Ligeti’s Atmosphères is one of the fundamental works to account for the crossover between philosophy and music in Adornian thought and, in particular, witheregard to the problem of causalityDownloads
