A Study Of Musical Aesthetic Judgment From The Perspective Of Philosophical Hermeneutics

The stduy of this paper is based on the reflection of the pre-understanding of aesthetic judgment of music.This pre-understanding mainly includes the aesthetic paradigm of absolute music and the aesthetic paradigm of performance aesthetics.These two paradigms are essentially limited by the concept of "music itself",so they both support that the aesthetic judgment of music is mainly the pure perception of "music itself".This paper holds that the aesthetic judgment of music is not a pure perceptual activity,but an understanding activity.In the perspective of philosophical hermeneutics,the activity of understanding is not a rational way of knowing,but a way of being.It is therefore the foundation of all other activities,which are essentially prior to knowledge.In the way of understanding the realization of the activity it and the previous understanding together constitute a hermeneutic cycle.Temporality is a process of horizon fusion.Finally,understanding itself is the process of using language to explain.On this basis,this paper points out that the aesthetic judgment of music as comprehension activity is historical,linguistic and factual.
