Metaphysical Song by Gary Tomlinson
Shows how opera, in its own cultural arena, distinct from philosophy, has repeatedly brought to the stage the changing relations of the subject to the particular metaphysics it presumes. This book details interactions of song, words, drama, and sounds used by creators of opera to fill in the outlines of the subjectivities they envisioned.
"A well-written, wide-ranging, and thought-provoking look at operaHighly recommended."--Library Journal (starred review) "There is much in this book for philosophers and opera lovers to enjoy, to reflect on, and to disagree with."--The Review of Metaphysics
