Abstract: The question of body and mind has always been the basic question explored by people. From Descartes's "raising the mind and restraining the body" to postmodern "balance between mind and body", with the turn to body philosophy, the "body" abandoned by traditional epistemology has reentered the research field. In postmodernism, the body is no longer the restrained "object" of students; the mind and consciousness also move from Descartes's altar of "I think, so I am" to the field of culture. Students exist as a unity of body and mind, a unity of subject and object. Body philosophy provides a new theoretical perspective for the study of music education philosophy. Therefore, from the perspective of body philosophy, this paper makes a comparative study of aesthetic music education philosophy and practical music education philosophy from the perspectives of music concept, music listening and music curriculum, to enable a clearer understanding of the value of music education philosophy to music education. It is hoped that the philosophy of music education can better lead the development of music education.

Key words: body philosophy, aesthetic music education philosophy, practical music education philosophy
