La obra de arte, la música y el compás musical como poder mágico en el sistema hegeliano

In this essay, we analyze the concept and the role of music, and especially of musical measure, within Hegelian aesthetics, either as a perceptual manifestation of the spirit or as a vehicle for self-knowledge. Subsequently, we argue that musical measure constitutes a primary objectivity that organizes sound over time, generating a kind of magical power that connects the musical piece with the listener's inner soul. Through measure, the spirit imprints order on time and reveals a cognitive dimension that transcends the immediacy of sound. Thus, music presents itself as a unique artistic form that unites interiority and reason in a revelatory experience for human beings.
