Elective Affinities: Myth, Music and Philosophy
An Interdisciplinary Inquiry into Music, Philosophy and Aesthetics
http://www.goetzrichter.com/pages/ElectiveAffinities.htm
October 11 - 6.30 pm
Recital Hall East, Sydney Conservatorium
Professor Rick Benitez, University of Sydney on Myth and Philosophy
What is the relation of myth to philosophy? Aristotle said that philosophy begins in wonder and that ‘hence even the myth-lover is, in a sense, a philosopher, since myths are composed of wonders’. Are myths, then, the beginning of philosophy? Are they only the beginning? The talk will explore the relationship between philosophy and myth through the Ancient Greek philosophers focussing on two different approaches to the distinction between appearance and reality, and the way that myth operates in each of the two approaches.
