Description

Hans Kayser – Akroasis [1 ebook – 1 PDF]

A NEW EPOCH will not be satisfied to orient itself on imperishable models of other times, but will have to re-establish those great principles as a new experience coming out of its own thinking and situation. Harmonics is not so presumptuous as to consider itself to be the way to this orientation, but one of many ways, all of which strive for the same goal, giving a direction in the midst of the most burning problems of today.” So wrote Hans Kayser, giving the kernel of his theory of world harmonics. He re-discovered the theory in the philosophy of Pythagoras, becoming convinced that the balance of Western thought was destroyed when “touch” and “sight” were stressed to the detriment of “hearing.” Although harmonics uses musical references, especially to the monochord, the instrument Pythagoras used in his experiments, this theory does not deal with music per se, but with the indications in music that point to harmonious thinking and living.

Hans Kayser (1891 – 1964)

A 20th Century Pythagorean Master

In the 1920s Hans Kayser, a German scientist, developed a theory of world harmonics based upon the Lambdoma, also called ‘The Pythagorean Table’. He found that the principles of harmonious structure in nature and the fundamentals of harmonics were essentially the same. Kayser called himself and others who adhered to this philosophy ‘harmonicists’. He devoted much of his life to restoring to the sciences, knowledge of the importance of harmonics. He believed that through understanding the connection between music and mathematics, it would be possible to create an understanding of the relationship between tone and numbers. Thus qualities (tonal sensations) could be derived from quantities (numbers) and quantities could be derived through qualities. In his book Akroasis (from the Greek word for ‘hearing’), he wrote:”With the discovery of the relation between pitch and string length, which could be established numerically, western science was born. Qualities (tones) were derived from quantities (string or wave lengths) in an exact way.

“Kayser believed that this knowledge of harmonics had become lost and had created a major schism between science and the spirit. He hoped that a true understanding of this relationship would create a bridge between the matter and soul.

This Book is Being Donated to the “Globe Institute – Sound Healing” GB because they both Deal in Harmonics and Geometry.
