Abstract
The text aims at exploring the affinities that might be found between Nietzsche’s and Rousseau’s thought through an analysis of their common interest in music. Without ignoring the discrepancies between both of them, it tries to enlighten the reasons behind this interest and their shared concern for modern western culture, as well as for the subjective crisis that this culture seems to cause.
