In this stimulating volume, Roger Scruton offers a comprehensive account of the nature and significance of music from the perspective of modern philosophy. The study begins with the metaphysics of sound. Scruton 7istinguishes sound from tone; analyzes rhythm, melody, and harmony; and explores the various dimensions of musical organization and musical meaning. Taking on various fashionable theories in the philosophy and theory of music, he presents a compelling case for the moral significance of music, its place in our culture, and the need for taste and discrimination in performing and listening to it. Laying down principles for musical analysis and criticism, this bold work concludes with a theory of culture--and a devastating demolition of modern popular music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A provocative new study.\"--\u003cem\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoger Scruton\u003c\/strong\u003e is a leading authority on aestheics, and has also published books on others aspects of philosophy, politics, literature, architecture, and modern culture.
