The paper offers together an overview of Wittgenstein's discussion of music in the Investigations and an original perspective on the semantic dimension of music that questions its supposed rule-governed character. It also hints at a general understanding of Wittgenstein's philosophy as a whole

Why is it important?
The paper aims to revive the debate on the nature of music by proposing a fresh reading of Wittgenstein's take on the matter. It might be interesting both for Wittgenstein's scholars and philosophers of music
Perspectives
