This book is a philosophical study of the relations between hearing
and thinking about music. The central problem it addresses is as
follows: how is it possible to talk about what a listener perceives
in terms that the listener does not recognize? By applying the
concepts and techniques of analytic philosophy the author explores
the ways in which musical hearing may be described as
nonconceptual, and how such mental representation contrasts with
conceptual thought. The author is both philosopher and musicologist
and uniquely combines the perspectives of both disciplines.
Exploring the philosophical questions of mental representation in
the relatively neglected, nonverbal domain of music, this study is
a major contribution to the philosophical understanding of music
perception and cognitive theory.
