Augustinus’ thoughts on music do not only emphasize ‘intellectus’. He thinks that sensus is as important as intellectus in terms of music. For him, music begins with a sense of mathematical sound. And Human intelligence(intellectus hominis) can judge the sound like a mathematical order(ordo). It is possible to judge the essential beauty of music when human intelligence is heard in mathematical order. At this time, intelligence must rely on sound with a mathematical order, that is, hearing. The sense of human hearing must convey the mathematical order to reason. In other words, sense and intelligence make music possible together. This is very important in Augustinus’ theory about music. Augustinus does not see Senses and the object of the senses as simply negative. The object of sensation is also a creature created by God in mathematical order. Rather, music is possible by sensing the mathematical sounds that exist in the mathematical order. This paper examines the positive factors of sensory perception and sensory object in Augustinus’ understanding of music. And this paper will examine how important the concept of ‘order’ is in the ontological thinking of Augustinus. In this understanding, this paper attempts to show we can understand the relationship between order and mathematics. When this relationship is understood, we can understand mathematics becomes universal metaphysics as a science(scientia) of order. It is music that can confirm this philosophical project of Augustinus. This paper does not simply attempt to explain that music is mathematical. Augustinus identified everything that exists in the mathematical order and chose music as the best way to understand his view. Music can help us to understand his thoughts on mathematics and, at the same time, rethink his thoughts on sensations(sensus). It also confirms the ontological position of the universe in his mathematical order. For this reason, This paper will try to look at the metaphysical position of Augustinus’s order through music. Through this, we will begin the first step toward understanding music philosophy in the early Middle Ages on the Mediterranean coast.
