Un musicien philosophe
C'est un penseur très original qui a
développé une intuition sublime qui l'a
accompagné toute sa vie : l'ouïe est à l'origine
de l'entendement parce que le son est le véhicule physique de
la conscience, de sorte que c'est en analysant la structure
fondamentale du son que l'on peut dévoiler les clés qui
ont permis la naissance des idées, le développement des
civilisations, l'émancipation des sciences et des
arts. Porté au départ au pinacle par les
philosophes des Lumières (Diderot, D'Alembert), Rameau sera
ensuite déjugé - notamment par Rousseau -, dès
que ses intuitions contrarieront l'agnosticisme en vogue.

Même si dans ces affaires le pire n’est jamais sûr.
La droite aime les chefs, sans vouloir les choisir.
Elle se donne aux hussards qui forcent ses désirs.
C’est pourquoi mes amis, si les deux sont hors-jeu,
Si le coq et le bouc se tuent à petit feu,
Je parierais plutôt sur un vrai carnivore
Que sur une antilope, une poule ou un castor…

Skepticism
Traditional definitions, at least as commonly portrayed in
contemporary discussions of the definition of art, take artworks to be
characterized by a single type of property. The standard candidates are
representational properties, expressive properties, and formal
properties. So there are representational or mimetic definitions,
expressive definitions, and formalist definitions, which hold that
artworks are characterized by their possession of, respectively,
representational, expressive, and formal properties. It is not
difficult to find fault with these simple definitions. For example,
possessing representational, expressive, and formal properties cannot
be sufficient

'Perhaps the greatest legacy is not in any specific thing, but in the relations between parts of our lives. I believe that modernity and its freedoms and benefits emerge from the never-ending tension caused by separating and balancing parts of our lives. England was the first country which successfully held the demands of the State, the Church, the Family and the Economy in some kind of balance where none came to dominate. This leads to personal responsibility and freedom. It also leads to endless contradictions and confusions. So perhaps the great contribution of England is to show that muddle, confusion, contradiction and paradox should be welcomed.'
