The influence of music on the existential experience of the individual

Fetisova Evgeniya

This article presents a philosophical analysis of music as a subjective art capable of making the subtle emotional states of an individual person sound. Art is born from purely intimate, existential experiences that can resonate with the inner world of the Other. This is the phenomenon of music as an art for all time. Music is in many ways capable of “speaking” with an individual being the same language, bringing to the surface those existential problems that are of concern to the individual here and now. Thus, through music, it is possible to put a part of one's existence in front of oneself, to objectify it, to make it more understandable. Music is able to resonate with the "I", it is a kind of existential dialogue that has a therapeutic effect. It is this effect that is most valuable for a person and so totally attracts music to all spheres of human life.
