Musical Concerns: Essays in Philosophy of Music de Jerrold Levinson

Musical Concerns: Essays in Philosophy of Music

Autor Jerrold Levinson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – apr 2015
This volume presents a new collection of essays, all of them dealing with music, by Jerrold Levinson, one of the most prominent philosophers of art today. It follows in the line of Levinson's earlier collections, Music, Art, and Metaphysics (1990), The Pleasures of Aesthetics (1996), and Contemplating Art (2006), and is representative of the most stimulating work being done under the rubric of analytic aesthetics. The essays, which are wide-ranging, should appeal to aestheticians, philosophers, musicologists, music theorists, music critics and music lovers of all kinds. Three of the twelve essays comprising the volume have not previously been published, and in somewhat of a departure for Levinson, four of the essays focus on music in the jazz tradition.

Recenzii

Perhaps the most important attribute of this book to observe is that Levinson is an impressively clear writer. He has a strong preference for a plain-speaking style; and, when he ventures into obscure areas, he tends to be excellent at shining just the right amount of light to allow the reader to negotiate the unfamiliarity. Equally important is that Musical Concerns can be read without having to draw upon the earlier volumes as sources of prerequisite knowledge. Each of the twelve essays in this book is firmly situated in the present, and references to past work are always given due background explanation.
Levinson has written so many important essays in aesthetics and his reputation is so secure -- he is well established as one of our leading philosophers of art -- that any new book from him merits attention ... it is refreshing to find multiple essays discussing songs and singing instead of composed works in the classical tradition. The value for newcomers to Levinson's work -- or even newcomers to philosophy of music or to philosophy of art -- is that it is organized so that the initial chapters consist of clear, straightforward exposition of his views on the nature of music appreciation, the value of music, and the nature of musical works.
This volume is a handsome collection of Jerrold Levinson's latest concerns about philosophy and music.
