Inner Music: Hobbes, Hooke and North on Internal Character

Burns & Oates (1995)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Musical instruments have been used as models for understanding the human character from the 17th century onwards. The author explores the implications of this model: how someone's character plays or is played upon, as well as the kinds of music it plays. This concept has contributed significantly to the development of theory in the bio-medical, neuro and cognitive sciences, and this account provides an important chapter in the history of the philosophy of science.
