Resumen
SIMESEN DE BIELKE, Martín. LA ESCALA DEL TIEMPO. EL CONCEPTO PITAGÓRICO DE ANALOGÍA EN LA DEFINICIÓN DE TIEMPO PLATÓNICO-ARISTOTÉLICA. Eidos [online]. 2017, n.27, pp.97-124. ISSN 1692-8857.
This article aims to unpack the query of whether or not there is a historical- philosophical basis for the hypothesis of a non-random homonymy between 'time scale' and 'musical scale.' A deeper look into certain passages of Plato's dialog Timaios, shows that he first laid the foundation for the concept of time, defined as number, by incorporating the concept of 'proportion' or 'analogy' ( ἀναλογία), which was developed by the Pythagoreans in the mystical and theoretical frame of the rising principles of tonal harmony. The pythagorean-platonic theory of proportion underlies -as I will try to prove- the aristotelian concept of time, and thus the traditional representation of time as a parameter and scale of movements.
