Antithetical Arts constitutes a defence of musical formalism
against those who would put literary interpretations on the
absolute music canon. In Part I, the historical origins of both the
literary interpretation of absolute music and musical formalism are
laid out. In Part II, specific attempts to put literary
interpretations on various works of the absolute music canon are
examined and criticized. Finally, in Part III, the question is
raised as to what the human significance of absolute music is, if
it does not lie in its representational or narrative content. The
answer is that, as yet, philosophy has no answer, and that the
question should be considered an important one for philosophers of
art to consider, and to try to answer without appeal to
representational or narrative content.
