In Book 8 of the Politics Aristotle argues that because music can ‘fashion the character of the soul’ (1340b12) it merits a place in the paideia, the education, of the young. He then asks whether it is sufficient for students ‘to enjoy the playing of music by others’ (1339b6) or must they ‘learn by singing and actually putting their hands to the playing of instruments?’ (1340b21)? His answer will be the latter but only ‘up to a point’ (mechri tinos: 1337b15). The purpose of this paper is to explore why he thinks this. As we shall see, pursuing this question will lead to a far more general one: why does Aristotle impose strict limits on the role of technical knowledge (technē), including the playing of musical instruments, in the education of free citizens?
