Music and the Emotions by Malcolm Budd
It has often been claimed, and frequently denied, that music derives some or all of its artistic value from the relation in which it stands to the emotions. This book presents and subjects to critical examination the chief theories about the relationship between the art of music and the emotions.'Malcolm Budd's excellent book is a useful introduction' - Philosophical Quarterly
'Budd's careful critique of previous theories is devastating.' - Times Literary Supplement
'I have never read such precise expositions of the philosophical views under discussion, nor such conclusive objections to them.' - Philosophical Review
'Budd's systematic and elegant refutation of the leading theories puts the whole topic in a new light.' - Mind
'For some time now it has been apparent that there was a good book to be written on the subject. I am happy to say that this is it.' - British Journal of Aesthetics
