Abstract
In the context of the times to rebuild a better world after World War II, Eastern philosophy became the driving force for the Western world to seek new directions. John Cage was a leader in Western art after World War II, one of the most influential avant-garde composers in the United States in the 20th century. Composed under the influence of Eastern philosophy, <4' 33”> showed completely different characteristics from existing Western music in the structure and directing process, and brought innovation to the music industry through unprecedented bold attempts. This study is meaningful in examining how Eastern philosophical ideas such as Zen, Taoism, Indian philosophy, and <I Ching> in <4' 33”> influenced the creation of this work, and exploring the intrinsic meaning John Cage intends to express through the Eastern philosophical ideas reflected in the work.
