Zusammenfassung:
Taking in hand the current 'discovery' that we can listen to the cosmos, Andrew Hicks argues that sound - and the harmonious coordination of sounds, sources, and listeners - has always been an integral part of the history of studying the cosmos. In 'Composing the World', Hicks presents a narrative tour through medieval Platonic cosmology with reflections on important philosophical movements along the way. The work will resonate with a variety of readers, and it encourages us to rethink the role of music and sound within our greater understanding of the universe.
