Description
In this volume, Zangwill develops a view of the nature of music and our experience of music that foregrounds the aesthetic properties of music.
He focuses on metaphysical issues about aesthetic properties of music, psychological issues about the nature of musical experience, and philosophy of language issues about the metaphorical nature of aesthetic descriptions of music.
Among the innovations of this book, Zangwill addresses the limits of literal description, generally, and in the aesthetic case.
He also explores the social and political issues about musical listening, which tend to be addressed more in continental traditions.
