The book contrasts resonance with reflection and develops “introaudition” as an alternative model of mind and self-awareness. Drawing on examples from early modern thought through the twentieth century, it connects auditory perception of pitch, listening practices, and shifting theories of the ear to broader disputes about reason, subject–object relations, and certainty in modernity.","Reason and ResonanceA History of Modern Aurality  \nVeit Erlmann  \nZ.ON E BOOKS ·N E W YORK  \n2010  \n◎2010 Veit Erlmann  \nZONE BOOKS

had a penchant for strong analogies,such as this one fromhis Entretien entre d'Alembert et Diderot,written in 1769:  \nThe sensitive vibrating string oscillates and resonates a long timeafter one has plucked it.It's this oscillation,this sort of inevitableresonance,that holds the present object,while our understanding isbusy with the quality which is appropriate to it.But vibrating stringshave yet another property—to make other strings quiver.And thusthe first idea recalls a second,and these two a third,then all threea fourth,and so it goes,without our being able to set a limit to theideas that are aroused and linked in a philosopher who meditates orwho listens to himself in silence and darkness.  \nDiderot's scandalous assertion-so scandalous,in fact,that pub-lication of the Entretien had to wait until 1830-seems to be atodds with the more commonplace image of the philosopher assomeone who deliberates and ponders with cool detachment,whosearches for the truth by completely withdrawing from the world,and whose intellect seems to be akin to a mirror.²Ever since RenéDescartes and John Locke invented an entity called \"the mind,\"thinking has come to be understood as reflection.Just as themirror reflects the light waves without its own substance becom-ing affected,the mind mimetically represents the outside worldwhile at the same time remaining separate from it.  \nResonance is of course the complete opposite of the reflective,  \ndistancing mechanism of a mirror.While reason implies the dis-junction of subject and object,resonance involves their conjunc-tion.Where reason requires separation and autonomy,resonanceentails adjacency,sympathy,and the collapse of the boundarybetween perceiver and perceived.Resonance is found in manyareas,whether it is a current within an electrical circuit thatsurges back and forth in step with the frequency of a signal comingfrom the outside or the representation of a normal state of a mol-ecule by a
