Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to reconstruct and analyze Susanne K. Langer’s conception of human cognition in general and of music cognition in particular, as exposed in her book Philosophy in a New Key. A basic idea of Langer’s investigation is a broad conception of human rationality. Due to this idea, rationality is not limited by any rules of any language. The article is composed of three sections. First, the philosophical context of Langer’s epistemological and aesthetical analysis is presented. Next, the general conception of human cognition as a symbolic transformation is reconstructed. Finally, the conception of music cognition as a special case of symbolic transformation is presented and analyzed.
