As an answer to the main question: can art communicate knowledge? proposed by Philosophy International Journal to a special issue: Art and Knowledge, this article briefly debates about the old dichotomy between two antagonistic conceptions of music. On one hand, the Kantian-Hanslickian formal aesthetic theory that conceives music like an ornamental art, like a beautiful play of sensations denying content in music, and on the other hand, the romanticidealistic Aesthetics and the subsequent Marxist-realist conceptions, that consider music like a language capable to communicate knowledge.
