Marvin Minsky explores the reasons behind our affinity for music, suggesting that music influences not only emotions but also other types of thought. He discusses the role of artificial intelligence in understanding musical thinking and challenges the traditional distinctions between emotion, reason, and aesthetics. Minsky argues that music, like a teaching machine, helps us learn about time and structure, and suggests that our appreciation for music may be linked to its ability to engage our minds in complex ways. He also touches on the potential evolutionary and psychological functions of music, including its role in social development and emotional learning.
