Abstract

The theory of the music of the spheres formulates a harmonic-musical organization of the universe. Initiated in Classical Antiquity, it remained in force during the Middle Ages, constituting a central axis in the transmission of Pythagorean-Platonic thought. It was reelected over time. In these new versions an attempt was made to respond to the early Aristotelian criticism. In this paper we propose a reconstruction of the arguments of Honorius of Autun in this regard, given that they are of capital importance, while trying to establish links between the theory of the music of the spheres and the conception of the so-called fifth element: the ether. With these articulations Honorio tried to save the doctrine of the cosmic music of the observations and even rejections, based on the inaudibility of this music of the stars.
