More about the book

Exploring the intersection of music and philosophy, Andrew Bowie challenges the notion that philosophy should solely provide answers about music. He examines influential philosophical perspectives on music from Kant to Adorno, arguing that music can illuminate critical philosophical questions regarding language, subjectivity, and ethics. By revealing the limitations of contemporary philosophical views on communication and meaning, Bowie positions music as a vital resource for philosophical inquiry, appealing to both philosophers and musicologists alike.
