درآمدی بر فلسفهی موسیقی
شاید به دلیل زندگی با موسیقی به فلسفهی موسیقی علاقهمند باشید و از اینکه میبینید ذائقهی شما گاهی شخصی و نامتعارف است، و گاهی این ذائقه حتا متفاوت از ذائقهی کسانی است که شور و اشتیاق مشترک زیادی با شما دارند، سردرگم شدهاید. شاید تا به حال کنجکاو شدهاید که بدانید بر چه اساس برخی آثار موسیقی از آثار دیگر مهمتر پنداشته میشوند و در اینباره که آیا موسیقی معنایی دارد یا نه تأمل کرده باشید. شاید از قدرتی که موسیقی برای تهییج و به گریهانداختن ما دارد در شگفت شده باشید. شاید هم دلمشغول مطالبی که در روزنامهها خواندهاید؛ آیا ترقّهگذاشتن در پیانو و سپس، آتشزدن آن واقعاً موسیقی است؟ این موضوعها مرا نیز سردرگم کرده، و باعث شده تا برخی پاسخها در اینباره را بررسی کنم. و پرسشهایی که من مطرح میکنم، عمدتاً، پرسشهاییاند دربارهی ارزش موسیقی، دربارهی ویژگیهای فردی ارزیابیهای ما، و دربارهی شیوهای که موسیقی را به دلیل قدرتی که برای متأثرکردن ما دارد ارزشمند میدانیم

A bad introductory book; nevertheless, I keep coming back to the chapter on artistic value, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't help me shape some of my views on the matter (specially the problem of expression and semantic anti-realism about musical value). I think Sharpe's approach is a little too rough when it comes to accounting for the act of trying to convince someone of a certain artwork's value, but I'm inclined to agree with it as long as it's improved.
Another thing that also became clear to me while reading Sharpe is that trying to understand what people are doing when they review or interpret works of art is way more interesting to me than actually reviewing or interpreting those works myself.

Erratic and inconclusive discussion. Informal approach, giving emphasis to vague and instinctive concepts, is appealing until it becomes clear that it's preventing him from getting beyond vague and instinctive concepts. You can see interesting things out the window of his train of thought but he never actually points the engine toward them. Unsatisfying.

Any author who can integrate a discussion about the malleability of elephant dung into a book about the philosophy of music gets my vote.
