Περίληψη

This article examines the extensive research of Professor Evangelos Moutsopoulos regarding the intersection of philosophy, music, and aesthetics. The author focuses on Moutsopoulos's seminal works, particularly his studies on music in the work of Plato and in ancient Greek dramaturgy. The study highlights Moutsopoulos's unique perspective as both a philosopher and a composer, exploring how music serves as a "revelatory" tool for understanding the structure of ancient drama and Platonic thought. Key themes include the ethical and pedagogical power of music, the concept of "kairos" (the opportune moment) in musical composition, and the mathematical-harmonious structure of the universe as reflected in the "Music of the Spheres". The paper concludes that Moutsopoulos's work underscores the enduring pedagogical importance of aesthetic cultivation for the development of individual consciousness.
