  • Jerrold Levinson's Musical Concerns: Essays In
    ___________________________________________________________________________ Book Review LEVINSON, JERROLD. Musical Concerns: Essays in Philosophy of Music. Oxford University Press 2015, 176 pp., $45 hardcover. Reviewed by Caterina Moruzzi Musical Concerns collects twelve essays written by Jerrold Levinson between 2006 and 2014. The value of this collection consists in providing insights both into traditional discussions of the philosophy of music, such as the music-emotion relation, and into alternative and emerging ones, such as the idiosyncrasies of jazz and the values possessed by music. In the first essay, “Philosophy and Music,” Levinson highlights the beneficial results these two disciplines can obtain from mutual engagement. In addition to the more traditional interrelation between composers who look to philosophical theories to get inspiration for their works and philosophers influenced by musical works, he identifies three features common to philosophy and music: the search for completeness (9–10), their nature as forms of thought (10–13), and their deep usefulness despite superficial impracticality (13). “Indication, Abstraction, and Individuation” contrasts a theory developed by Levinson with formalist theories that identify the nature of musical works with their pure form and structure. 1 Levinson’s musical contextualism ascribes ontological importance also to contextual factors such as composer, time of composition, and instrumentation. The creation of the work is carried out by an act of artistic indication, the result of a deliberate choice that sets the standards for the performance of the work itself (50), which assigns to the author’s creation the status of artwork. The next essential step after the creation of a work is its reception by an audience: “The Aesthetic Appreciation of Music” deals with different kinds of appreciation the audience can experience by listening to music.

  • Rethinking Plato's Theory of Art: Aesthetics and the Timaeus
    Rethinking Plato’s Theory of Art: Aesthetics and the Timaeus Omid Tofighian Introduction The Timaeus presents a fascinating account of the cosmos. It includes a creation myth that introduces the figure known as the ‘Demiurge’, who, despite the fact that he is the cause of the sensible world, is reverently attributed with reason, and whose creation – the cosmos – is actually beautiful and good. In this dialogue Plato offers his readers a panorama of the universe. But just what are his intentions for this? Is his approach a precursor to the methods of natural science,1 or does the Timaeus fall under the category of theology? This paper will discuss Plato’s cosmological treatise and certain consequences that can be drawn, that is, how the methods used to analyse the origins and structure of the universe reveal a more existential attitude towards aesthetics. In the Timaeus Plato explores the complexities of mimesis and entertains the possibility that imitation could actually exhibit ideal qualities. These considerations have repercussions for the status of the material world in Plato’s cosmology, but they may also be extended to rethink his theory of art. I wish to analyse a number of salient themes in the Timaeus such as ontology, mythic symbols and the use of rhetoric. I will demonstrate how Plato’s view towards these themes in the Timaeus can be extrapolated to reassess his aesthetics. My critical analysis will provoke the question – ‘What evaluation of art would Plato have offered in accordance with the positions explicated in the Timaeus?’ Upon investigating a number of dialogues, searching specifically for references to art or representation, I realised that certain views I had thought to be exclusive to the Timaeus, or other late dialogues, also featured in works as early as the Ion.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 773 ) Thesis Abstract Judaism is a religion that emphasises the importance of a set of practical commandments and in the history of Jewish philosophy various attempts have been made to rationalise or justify these commandments. In this thesis I try to establish a general model for the justification of practices through a critical examination of two such attempted rationalisations. However, the study is framed within the more general question of whether or not there can be such a thing as Jewish Philosophy as a genuinely substantive discipline. Thus, I take the particular topic of rationalising the commandments as a ‘case study’ in order to see whether we can do substantive Jewish philosophy at least in the practical sphere. In the main body of the thesis I look at the methods of rationalisation of Moses Maimonides and Joseph Soloveitchik and argue that despite being based on very different scientific models they share a central methodological presumption that I term the Priority of Theory (PoT).

  • A Powerful Defence of Musical Formalism Hanne Appelqvist: Wittgenstein and the Conditions of Musical Commu- Nication
    REVIEW A Powerful Defence of Musical Formalism Hanne Appelqvist: Wittgenstein and the Conditions of Musical Commu- nication. Acta Philosophica Fennica Vol. 85, Helsinki: The Philosophical Society of Finland, 2008. 152 pages. isbn 978-951-9265-68-4 A typical problem with approaches to aesthetic questions which draw heavily on the views of a single philosopher is that those who are en- gaged in the debate over the philosophical problem to which his or her views are applied may often have trouble seeing the relevance of the proposed account. This is not the case with Hanne Appelqvist’s work Wittgenstein and the Conditions of Musical Communication. She develops a highly persuasive variant of musical formalism based on a reading of remarks on the analogy between the understanding of music and the un- derstanding of language found in Ludwig Wittgenstein’s later writings. With this sort of Wittgensteinian formalism she challenges an influen- tial tradition in contemporary philosophy of music in which music’s con- tent is considered to consist of the expression of emotions and in which musical understanding is seen as the capacity to grasp the emotion a par- ticular musical phrase or piece supposedly expresses. Simultaneously, Appelqvist manages to provide a rehabilitation of the musical formalism developed by Eduard Hanslick who contemporary analytic philosophers of music have, in her opinion, undeservedly looked down on. The first two chapters of Appelqvist’s work explore the relationship between the early and later parts of Wittgenstein’s philosophical career. While it is well-known that Wittgenstein’s thinking changed radically in certain respects between the Tractatus and the Philosophical Investigations, in Appelqvist’s view, the concerns of the two works nevertheless overlap in that they both attempt “to give an account of the necessary conditions of meaning in language” (41).

Please cite only the published version.] Abstract Aaron Ridley has recently attacked the study of musical ontology – an apparently fertile area in the philosophy of music. I argue here that Ridley’s arguments are unsound. There are genuinely puzzling ontological questions about music, many of which are closely related to questions of musical value. While it is true that musical ontology must be descriptive of pre-existing musical practices and that some debates, such as that over the creatability of musical works, have little consequence for questions of musical value, none of this implies that these debates themselves are without value.
