Abstract

In this article I explore the formalist facet of Kant's theory of music and how this facet can be reconciled with sensory gratification and emotional expression. I argue that 1) Kant does not give us an adequate notion of musical form, 2) the status that Kant gives to sensations in music is not plausible, and 3) the presence of an emotionally expressive component introduces inconsistencies within Kant’s text. Remarks about the status that Kant assigns to sensations in music are illustrated by analyzing a work by Mussorgsky later orchestrated by Ravel. Kant's formalist facet is problematized through a comparison with Eduard Hanslick's musical formalism. I conclude by examining Samantha Matherne's (2014) proposal to reconcile the aforementioned dimensions. I argue that Matherne's "expressive formalism" does not resolve all the inconsistencies and implausibilities it tries to resolve

质疑康德音乐方法的形式主义方面——对穆索尔斯基的应用，与汉斯利克的比较以及对萨曼莎·马瑟恩的回应

在这篇文章中，我探讨了康德音乐理论的形式主义方面，以及这方面如何与感官满足和情感表达相协调。我认为，1)康德没有给我们一个关于音乐形式的充分概念，2)康德给予音乐中感觉的地位是不合理的，3)情感表达成分的存在在康德的文本中引入了不一致的地方。关于康德赋予音乐中感觉的地位的评论，可以通过分析穆索尔斯基后来由拉威尔编曲的一部作品来说明。康德的形式主义方面通过与爱德华·汉斯立克的音乐形式主义的比较而受到质疑。最后，我检查了Samantha Matherne(2014)提出的调和上述维度的建议。我认为，马瑟恩的“表现形式主义”并没有解决它试图解决的所有矛盾和不可信

期刊介绍： Con-Textos Kantianos aims at boosting the philological and critical research on Kant studies, considering also actual discussions on Kant''s thought. That is the reason why its heading hints to contexts with texts. Kant shall be the main focus of the journal, which will tackle subjects such as Moral and Political Philosophy, History of Ideas, Philosophy of Right, Philosophy of History, Philosophy of Religion, Philosophy of Education, Aesthetics, Anthropology, Metaphysics and Epistemology, Human Rights, Social Policy, Theories of Justice and Cosmopolitanism. CTK aims at being an international and cosmopolitan inspired e-journal, where the Spanish language receives equal acknowledgement as English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese do. The main purposes of the journal are to enhance the development of a Kant scholarship network at the Latin American scale and to tighten the links between research groups already consolidated in different countries and languages. The editorial team, which gathers Kant scholars from Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Spain, will certainly ease the fulfillment of both purposes.
