Abstract: 

With the discovery of the Aristotelian works on natural philosophy the
philosophical discourse expands its subject of study to the physical and
material dimension of mens nature. This philosophical tendency would
also influence the reflections on musical topics. This paper shows how
the physiological and physical view of the human being had influenced
the theory of music. From a terminological and a conceptual perspective
Pietro de Abano moves away from the Boethian authority. Comparing the
musical theory of Pietro de Abano with the traditional musica theorica
it becomes evident that there is no opposition between sensitiveness and
intellect. Key words: Sensitiveness - Intellect - Music - Pietro
D'Abano
