This innovative study re-evaluates the philosophical significance
of aesthetics in the context of contemporary debates on the nature
of philosophy. Lewis's main argument is that contemporary
conceptions of meaning and truth have been reified, and that
aesthetics is able to articulate why this is the case, with
important consequences for understanding the horizons and nature of
philosophical inquiry. Reification and the Aesthetics of Music
challenges the most emphatic and problematic conceptions of meaning
and truth in both analytic philosophy and postmodern thought by
acknowledging the ontological and logical primacy of our concrete,
practice-based experiences with aesthetic phenomena. By engaging
with a variety of aesthetic practices, including Beethoven's
symphonies and string quartets, Wagner's music dramas, Richard
Strauss's Elektra, the twentieth-century avant-garde, Jamaican
soundsystem culture, and punk and contemporary noise, this book
demonstrates the aesthetic relevance of reification as well as the
concept's applicability to contemporary debates within philosophy.
