Description

Explore the deep connection between music and reality in this academic work from Routledge. In Music and Aesthetic Reality: Formalism and the Limits of Description, Zangwill presents a unique perspective on the nature of music and the ways we experience it. This volume focuses on the aesthetic properties that define musical works and how they impact our perception. The text covers essential metaphysical questions regarding aesthetic properties, alongside psychological investigations into the nature of musical experience. It also examines the philosophy of language, specifically looking at how metaphorical descriptions are used when we talk about music. Readers will gain insight into the limits of literal description within the aesthetic realm. Beyond pure theory, the book explores social and political aspects of musical listening, making it a comprehensive resource for students and scholars of contemporary philosophy and music theory.
