You are invited to the second event of the colloquium series “Thinking with Sound: Abu Nasr al-Farabi as Music Theorist”

Yasemin Goekpinar, Acting Professor of Islamic Studies (University of Hamburg)
“Why Does Music Need Instruments? Theory and Practice andal-Fārābī’s Synthesis in the Great Book on Music”
September 26th from 12.00-2.00 EST.

This 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?
