520	8		_aHearing has traditionally been regarded as the second sense - as somehow less rational and less modern than the first sense, sight. 'Reason and Resonance' explodes this myth by reconstructing the process through which the ear came to play a central role in modern culture and rationality. For the past 400 years, hearing has been understood as involving the sympathetic resonance between the vibrating air and various partsof the inner ear. But the emergence of resonance as the centerpiece of modern aurality also coincides with the triumph of a new type of epistemology in which the absence of resonance is the very condition of thought. Our mind's relationship to the world is said to rest on distance or, as the very synonym for reason suggests, reflection. 'Reason and Resonance' traces the genealogy of this 'intimate animosity' between reason and resonance through a series of interrelated case studies involving a varied cast of otologists, philosophers, physiologists, pamphleteers, and music theorists.
