This book presents a comprehensive, accessible survey of Western
philosophy of music from Pythagoras to the present. Its narrative
traces themes and schools through history, in a sequence of five
chapters that survey the ancient, medieval, early modern, modern
and contemporary periods. Its wide-ranging coverage includes
medieval Islamic thinkers, Continental and analytic thinkers, and
neglected female thinkers such as Vernon Lee (Violet Paget). All
aspects of the philosophy of music are discussed, including music
and the cosmos, music's value, music's relation to the other arts,
the problem of opera, the origins of musical genius, music's
emotional impact, the moral effects of music, the ontology of
musical works, and the relevance of music's historical context. The
volume will be valuable for students and scholars in philosophy and
musicology, and all who are interested in the ways in which
philosophers throughout history have thought about music.
Art and Knowledge argues that the experience of art is so rewarding because it can be an important source of knowledge about ourselves and our relation to each other and to the world. Young reflects on the essence of art and argues that it ought to provide insight as well as pleasure. He argues that all the arts, including music, are importantly representational. This kind of representation is fundamentally different from that found in the sciences, but it can provide insights as important and profound as available from the sciences. Art and Knowledge is an exceptionally clear and interesting, as well as controversial, exploration of what art is and why it is valuable. It will be of interest to all philosophers of art, artists and art critics.
Author Biography: James O. Young is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Victoria. He is author of Global Anti-Realism

The Fine Arts Reduced to a Single Principle (1746) by Charles
Batteux was arguably the most influential work on aesthetics
published in the eighteenth century. It influenced every major
aesthetician in the second half of the century: Diderot, Herder,
Hume, Kant, Lessing, Mendelssohn, and others either adopted his
views or reacted against them. It is the work generally credited
with establishing the modern system of the arts: poetry, painting,
music, sculpture and dance. Batteux's book is also an invaluable
aid to the interpretation of the arts of eighteenth century. And
yet there has never been a complete or reliable translation of The
Fine Arts into English. Now James O. Young, a leading contemporary
philosopher of art, has provided an eminently readable and accurate
translation. It is fully annotated and comes with a comprehensive
introduction that identifies the figures who influenced Batteux and
the writers who were, in turn, influenced by him. The introduction
also discusses the ways in which The Fine Arts has continuing
philosophical interest. In particular, Young demonstrates that
Batteux's work is an important contribution to aesthetic
cognitivism (the view that works of art contribute importantly to
knowledge) and that Batteux made a significant contribution to
understanding the expressiveness of music. This book will be of
interest to everyone interested in the arts of the eighteenth
century, French studies, the history of European ideas, and
philosophy of art.

The question of whether aesthetic judgements are simply statements
about subjective preferences or whether they have some
non-subjective basis is one of the most important questions of
aesthetics, and, indeed, of philosophy. In recent years,
philosophers of language have discussed aesthetic judgements, but
have assumed that aesthetic judgements are similar to judgements
that employ predicates of personal taste such as 'tasty' and
'delicious.' A speaker's judgement that an item of food is tasty is
a report about the speaker's subjective response to that item of
food. If aesthetic judgements are like judgements that employ
predicates of personal taste, to judge that the St. Matthew Passion
is glorious is also a report about what some listener likes. If two
people disagree about whether the St. Matthew Passion is glorious,
neither has made a mistake. Philosophers of art have tended to
disagree with this view. They have distinguished aesthetic
predicates such as 'serene,' 'balanced,' and 'glorious' from
predicates such as 'tasty.' On this view, the judgement that some
artwork is serene or even that it is beautiful is a report about
the work, not a report about how a person responds to the work.
Aesthetic judgements are not just statements about personal
preferences. This volume brings together some of the leading
contemporary philosophers of art and philosophers of language to
debate the status of aesthetic judgements. Are they simply
expressions of personal preference? Is there more basis for saying
that a painting is beautiful or serene than there is for saying
that a cake is tasty? Is disagreement about aesthetic judgements
faultless or can someone be mistaken about the aesthetic value of
an artwork?
After the Taliban regime was driven out of Afghanistan in late
2001, the United States and other members of the international
community undertook efforts to establish and stabilize a liberal
democratic form of government in that country. Such an undertaking
is a monumental task, fraught with many obstacles and challenges.
This paper looks at several of the obstacles to democracy in
Afghanistan, to include the absence of a democratic history and
tradition, an endemic culture of corruption, a pervasive narcotics
trade and drug trafficking problem, tribalism and ethnic divides
among the population, and finally the lack of support or assistance
from neighboring Pakistan. The author proposes five possible
strategies and adjustments to current efforts by the international
community, led by the United States and International Security
Assistance Force (ISAF). If these strategies are adopted, the
environment in Afghanistan will be more secure, the government more
stable, and liberal democracy will have a much greater chance of
taking hold and flourishing. Afghanistan and this region of the
world will also be less likely to harbor terrorist operations and
organizations such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban to threaten the
democratic nations of the world.
Why do we value music? Many people report that listening to music
is one of life's most rewarding activities. In Critique of Pure
Music, James O. Young seeks to explain why this is so. Formalists
tell us that music is appreciated as pure, contentless form. On
this view, listeners receive pleasure, or a pleasurable 'musical'
emotion, when they explore the abstract patterns found in music.
Music, formalists believe, does not arouse ordinary emotions such
as joy, melancholy or fear, nor can it represent emotion or provide
psychological insight. Young holds that formalists are wrong on all
counts. Drawing upon the latest psychological research, he argues
that music is expressive of emotion by resembling human expressive
behaviour. By resembling human expressive behaviour, music is able
to arouse ordinary emotions in listeners. This, in turn, makes
possible the representation of emotion by music. The representation
of emotion in music gives music the capacity to provide
psychological insight-into the emotional lives of composers, and
the emotional lives of individuals from a variety of times and
places. And it is this capacity of music to provide psychological
insight which explains a good deal of the value of music, both
vocal and purely instrumental. Without it, music could not be
experienced as profound. Philosophers, psychologists, musicians,
musicologists, and music lovers will all find something of interest
in this book.
