This event is part of “Thinking with Sound: Abū Naṣr al-Fārābī as Music Theorist,” a colloquium series organized and curated by Giulia Accornero (Yale Department of Music). The series invites all to think through the ephemerality of sound and the mysteries of music with one of the most important medieval philosophers, Abū Naṣr al-Fārābī. How did al-Fārābī reconcile music-theoretical knowledge with embodied feeling, philosophical principles with sensual phenomena, and eternal knowledge with ever-shifting musical practices?
