Humanities II

I picked up with the problem of empiricism and then discussed Kant's revolutionary approach that argues each of us are the center of our universe and our consciousness creates and orders the time and space that structures our perceptions. Phenomena are categorized by the rational mind in the same ways and so humans have a shared understanding of the universe. On that note we looked at primal music, Indian raga music (and Celtic music) but then the change with Greek music after Pythagoras and the invention of the octave. We talked about how music influences the mood of a person through the waves effects on the brain. The quiz question was, does the Doberhuahua strike your intuition as completely unnatural?
