Philosophy of Western Music by Andrew Kania
The first book-length introduction to the philosophy of Western music to fully integrate consideration of popular music and hybrid musical forms, especially song."Andrew Kania's Philosophy of Western Music is the book that I and my students have been waiting forScholarly, lucid, and pleasingly opinionated, it will both enlighten and enthuse anyone with a serious interest in the analytic philosophy of music."
Julian Dodd, University of Manchester
"Andrew Kania has pulled off the hat trick of presenting a thoughtful overview of philosophy of Western music, interweaving it with an introduction to music theory, and keeping his own voice clear throughout. The target audience is an undergraduate philosophy class, but the general concepts are so clearly exemplified that this text could easily be used by music-appreciating students with no philosophical background . . . . Kania fairly and fully presents the panoply of analytic music philosophy, with meticulous references and a delightfully nimble style."
Jennifer Judkins, in The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism"Kania’s book is an excellent introduction to the philosophy of music and I wish I had it on hand a couple of years ago when I last taught the subject. . . . Thinking of teaching philosophy of music and need a textbook? Reach for this one." Anton Killin, in Teaching Philosophy
