The Philosophy of Music is a book written by William Pole, which is based on a series of lectures he delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1879. The book explores the philosophical aspects of music, including its nature, origin, and purpose.

The book is a comprehensive study of the philosophy of music, and provides readers with a deeper understanding of this art form.
