ABSTRACT
What did music and related concepts mean to Kierkegaard and how did he relate his ideas to music and other performing arts such as teaching and acting? My presentation is for all performing artists. Kierkegaard’s thinking on music is a conduit by which performing artists become aware of the philosophical and psycological complexity of music and the performing arts through his philosophical lenses.
