Read More The main focus of this research is on the phenomenological studies of music from the perspective of the experience of listening to music, with an emphasis on the views of Mikel Dufrenne. This research examines the conditions of musical perception and how phenomenological descriptions of musical experiences play a role in understanding our objective experiences. To answer this question, which is the main goal of the research, with a descriptive-analytical method and a phenomenological approach based on Mikel Dufrenne's point of view, an attempt is made to explain the applications of phenomenology in describing and clarifying the experience of listening to music. Dufrenne considers three stages for aesthetic perception: 1) presence; 2) representation and imagination; and 3) reflection and feeling. According to him, the process of perception is an evolving dialectical process. For this perception, the audience must be active to reach the depth of the aesthetic object and its expression. He concludes that the peak of aesthetic perception is found in the feeling that reveals the way the work is expressed. The findings of this research show that in a phenomenological view, encountering a work of art occurs in the conscious process of recognizing the work, experiencing the work in time and place, the process of execution, and the process of inner development. Although prominent in Dufrenne's account of aesthetic experience in general, it specifically describes the encounter with music as a process of change and development. It also results that in the experience of listening to music, our usual experiences of understanding time and place, body and feeling, and personal and social experience are transformed, and the listener becomes an active participant in this process. Such an experience can not only increase our understanding of performance and theoretical understanding of music but also make the receivers discover not only the work of art but also the process of self-development.

Read More Metaphysics has a long-standing history in philosophy. Although it does not date back as far as philosophy itself, it has always been a fundamental part of philosophical systems and is regarded as "first philosophy", the highest domain of rational knowledge. At times, metaphysics has been considered synonymous with philosophy, addressing fundamental questions about the essence and reality of things, or pure being. However, as intellectual developments have progressed, metaphysics has faced serious criticism and even outright rejection. Immanuel Kant and Rudolf Carnap, two prominent philosophers from distinct philosophical traditions, adopted critical stances toward metaphysics, resulting in profound transformations within this field. Kant, through his Copernican Revolution and his distinction between analytic/synthetic propositions and a priori/a posteriori concepts, examined the conditions under which metaphysics could be considered possible. In contrast, Carnap, a leading figure of the Vienna Circle, developed theories on analytic/synthetic judgments and their relationship to experience, establishing an epistemological framework that dismissed metaphysical propositions as meaningless. This article seeks to address the following questions: Which aspects of Kant’s philosophy revitalized philosophical thought and influenced Carnap and the logical positivism of the Vienna Circle? How did Kant critique and redefine metaphysics? How did Kant’s rationalist philosophy shape the empiricism of the logical positivists? A comparison of these two philosophers’ perspectives reveals that Carnap drew significant inspiration from Kant’s philosophy. Nevertheless, a fundamental difference exists between them: Kant sought to liberate metaphysics from its traditional framework and redefine it in a scientific and rigorous manner. In contrast, Carnap, emphasizing empiricism and dismissing metaphysics as futile, aimed to abolish it entirely and pave the way for the scientific advancement of human knowledge.
