Interpersonální hypotéza hudby a hlubinně hermeneutické hledání smyslu uměleckého díla

The interpersonal hypothesis of music presents an original contribution to Czech musicology dating back to the 1960s. This paper focuses on the wider interpretation of the principle of the hypothesis in relation to deep hermeneutic thought. The principle of the hypothesis is interpreted based on the work of Ferdinand Knobloch and Jarmila Doubravová. The discovery of meaning in a musical work is the result of a dialogic process with the deep contents of our conscious and unconscious. Symbolization of the archetype does not occur only in metaphorical material, but the musical stream and its events can take on meaning for an individual in relation to a universal as well as individual aesthetic experience. The invariant of interpersonal tendencies in music is, for this reason, in affinity to archetypal situations.
