14 jan 330 ano antes da era comum - Aristotle's "Politics"

Descrição:

Closely related to the concept of ethos is Aristotle's theory if imitation, which explains how music affects behavior. Music, Aristotle writes in the "Politics", imitates the passions or states of the soul, such as gentleness, anger, courage, temperance, and their opposites. Music that imitates a certain passion also arouses that passion in the listener and thereby influences a person's ethos.
