Book Synopsis Music and Humanism by : R. A. Sharpe
Download or read book Music and Humanism written by R. A. Sharpe. This book was released on 2000. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The metaphor of music as a language has exerted a deep influence on the way we think about music and the way we hear it: we conceive of music as expressive and as something to be understood. These two ideas underpin the thought that it is a humanist art. Sharpe suggests that Western music may have entered a new period in which the language analogy and the humanist conception are becoming less and less appropriate."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Themes in the Philosophy of Music by : Stephen Davies
Download or read book Themes in the Philosophy of Music written by Stephen Davies. This book was released on 2003-01-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is music a language of the emotions? How do recorded pop songs differ from works created for live performance? Is John Cage's silent piece, 4'33", music? Stephen Davies's new book collects some of his most important papers on central topics in the philosophy of music. As well as perennial questions, Davies addresses contemporary controversies, including the impact of modern technology on the presentation and reception of both new and old musical works. These essays, two ofthem new and previously unpublished, are self-standing but thematically connected, and will be of great interest to philosophers, aestheticians, and to theorists of music and art.

Book Synopsis A Marriage of Philosophy and Music by : Erich Welling
Download or read book A Marriage of Philosophy and Music written by Erich Welling. This book was released on 2014-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to use philosophy and music to open your horizons and enjoy being yourself, put theory to work, and help you experience personal growth is discussed in A Marriage of Philosophy and Music. It is all about "after." After having a liberal education, you are comfortable in modern culture, and after further education and becoming a specialist in some field, you enjoy using your skills. We learn the ideas and methods of many social cultures and our own chosen specialty, but we often neglect the liberal art of disciplining and enjoying the ideas and methods of our own individuality. This book offers a path toward the education of privacy, with the key words being selection, design, and beauty. The book relates five areas of general human interest: spirituality, philosophy, science, art, and body awareness. The interrelation is accomplished by using personal patterns of experience that are available from philosophy and music. Because of the plurality of subject matters and methods used in philosophy and music, their patterns of discipline are comparable to self-discipline. A Marriage of Philosophy and Music attempts to create a path in this direction, because besides the enjoyment of social culture and personal skills, there is enjoyment in being yourself, which is a neglected liberal art.
