Summary
This chapter introduces the paradigm of experimental humanities. Such a perspective is basic to all computational, resp. effective, methods in musicology. We discuss the parallel to the epochal Galilean change from speculative to experimental natural sciences.
Plato’s pessimistic picture of empirical observation caused him to deny the validity of physical models and was largely responsible for the eclipse of empiricism for 2,000 years.
