Recent psychological research has elaborated two different concepts related to the loss of capacity to access the emotional content of music: amusia and musical anhedonia. This last concept, i. e. anhedonia, points to the selective loss of musical emotion when listening to music, although having complete access to the musical percepts (as opposed with amusia where even musical percept is not accessible). Musical anhedonia has been interpreted as resulting from the loss of the capacity to trigger the ventral striatum (which is a part of the reward center). In this paper, two scholars (one psychologist and one phenomenologist) will confront their points of view on musical anhedonia. The question of their incommensurability will be addressed. It will be shown that the description proposed by psychology for musical anhedonia is not phenomenologically relevant and that, conversely, the description proposed by phenomenology is not psychologically relevant. Husserl's discussion on psychology vs phenomenology will be revisited along these arguments.
