Filozofija muzike

Filozofija muzike je studija "osnovnih pitanja o prirodi muzike i našem iskustvu muzike". Za razliku od nekih filozofija, poput su filozofija nauke, koje proučavaju predmete sa kojom većina nije upoznati, većina ljudi je upoznata sa muzikom. Filozofska studija muzike ima mnogo veze sa filozofskim pitanjima metafizike i estetike. Neka osnovna pitanja filozofije muzike su:

• Šta je definicija muzike? 
• Kakva je veza između muzike i uma?
• Kakva je veza između muzike i jezika?
• Šta nam istorija muzike otkriva o svetu?
• Kakva je veza između muzike i emocija?
