Description
Philosophy of Western Music: A Contemporary Introduction by Andrew Kania is an accessible and comprehensive guide to the key philosophical issues surrounding Western music. This first edition provides both students and general readers with a clear introduction to fundamental questions in the philosophy of music, drawing on examples from a wide range of musical genres, from classical to popular music. Kania systematically explores major topics such as the nature of music, musical ontology, and the relationship between music and emotion. He examines how we define what counts as music, what kinds of entities musical works are (scores, performances, or sound structures), and how music can represent emotions or evoke deep emotional responses. The book delves into debates about musical interpretation, authenticity in performance, and the role of improvisation, offering readers tools to think critically about these complex issues. The text also addresses the ethics and aesthetics of music, including the moral implications of lyrics, cultural appropriation, and the ethical responsibilities of musicians and listeners. Throughout, Kania emphasizes clear argumentation and draws on contemporary analytic philosophy while remaining sensitive to music’s historical and cultural diversity. Philosophy of Western Music serves as a thorough introduction to the field, offering up-to-date discussions and encouraging philosophical engagement with music as both an art form and a cultural practice. It is ideal for undergraduate courses in aesthetics, music studies, and philosophy, as well as for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of Western music through a philosophical lens.
