Theological Explanation of Music in Light of Transcendental Wisdom

The issue of music has always been controversial. The fact that what is understood by music has been always a fundamental question for scholars. This research, which is based on a theological approach, seeks a new insight into the different dimensions of music by using the philosophical rules of transcendental wisdom, such as unity of human beings and the world, and the analysis of the problem of the soul. In fact, the purpose of this article, which is based on a hermeneutical method, is to answer to the question of how music is understood and perceived. The outcome of this study not only allows for the establishment of philosophical foundations in light of transcendental wisdom for music, but because this analysis is carried out in light of epistemic acceptance, it provides music with a kind of sacredness and gives it a theological aspect. In addition, the music is regarded ontologically and harmoniously equal with the philosophical-mystical foundations of transcendental wisdom.
