Nowadays, many people like to work while listening to music. Long before the advent of playlists on music services, Immanuel Kant recognised the positive impact of music on a working person. As the philosopher himself said,
Music is capable of putting someone who does not listen to it as a connoisseur, for example a poet, a philosopher, into a mood in which, according to his profession or his inclinations, he concentrates and controls his thoughts, while sitting in a lonely room, he would not be able to grasp them so well. |
