A refreshing intellectual palate-cleanser, about how three great European thinkers escaped the discontents of a life of the mind through a physical relationship with music. In prose that is academic without being dull or obscurantist, Noudelmann, a piano player himself, traces how each man's relationship to the piano informed, acted as a counterpoint to, refuge from (or all of the above) his contributions to the world of ideas. The Philosopher's Touch bubbled with interest. I maintain an interest in two of the three thinkers profiled. Barthes never resonated for me. I liked S/Z but largely I think for the wrong reasons. Anyone writing about (around? towards?) Balzac deserves some attention, don't they? It was also an interesting point that Sartre and Nietzsche were the subjects of biographies by Ronald Hayman. I love both of those books. Figurative warts are prominent. Noudelmann's project is very specific, the task of private piano playing as a reflection of a philosophical project; I know, cool, innit? There much digression and speculation: any effort about such a an activity will likely require some meandering and/or padding. I thought the examples noted are successful. It does tempt some reflection on Nietzsche's and Sartre's thoughts and actions. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Renowned philosopher and prominent French critic Fran©?ois Noudelmann engages the musicality of Jean-Paul Sartre, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Roland Barthes, all of whom were amateur piano players and acute lovers of the medium. Though piano playing was a crucial art for these thinkers, their musings on the subject are largely scant, implicit, or discordant with each philosopher's oeuvre. Noudelmann both recovers and integrates these perspectives, showing that the manner in which these philosophers played, the composers they adored, and the music they chose reveals uncommon insight into their thinking styles and patterns.Noudelmann positions the physical and theoretical practice of music as a dimension underpinning and resonating with Sartre's, Nietzsche's, and Barthes's unique philosophical outlook. By reading their thought against their music, he introduces new critical formulations and reorients their trajectories, adding invaluable richness to these philosophers' lived and embodied experiences. The result heightens the multiple registers of being and the relationship between philosophy and the senses that informed so much of their work. A careful reader of music, Noudelmann maintains an elegant command of the texts under his gaze and appreciates the discursive points of musical and philosophical scholarship they involve, especially with regard to recent research and cutting-edge critique.
