Music, philosophy, and modernity

Modern philosophers generally assume that music is a problem to which philosophy ought to offer an answer. This book, in contrast, suggests that music might offer ways of responding to some central questions in modern philosophy. The author looks at key philosophical approaches to music and uses music to re-examine many current ideas about language, subjectivity, metaphysics, truth, and ethics. He suggests that music can show how the predominant images of language, communication, and meaning in contemporary philosophy may be lacking in essential ways.
