Summary: "Why We Love Music" by Carl E. Seashore is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the psychological, physiological, and social factors that contribute to our affinity for music. Through an analytical lens, it aims to unravel the complexities behind why music holds such a significant place in human life, addressing notions of feeling, action, and cognitive engagement. The opening of the book establishes the foundation of Seashore's exploration by addressing the fundamental question of why we love music. He begins with an analysis of the organic and psychological responses humans have to sound, positing that such responses are deeply rooted in our physiology. He highlights the role of music as a form of communication that transcends mere auditory pleasure, serving as a vital medium for expressing emotions and connecting with others. Through a series of outlined chapters, Seashore indicates a planned approach to dissect the multi-faceted phenomenon of musical appreciation, suggesting that to fully understand our love for music, one must consider elements of innate musical talent, childhood experiences, and the social context of musical engagement.
