This Monday April 7 Dean Rickles from University of Sydney will
talk on:
Philosophy common room, 1.00-2.30.
"Time, Modality and Music".
Abstract: Recent work on the ontology of music has introduced various
concepts from the philosophy of time. Musical perdurantism, the view
that a musical work is a fusion of performances, has recently been
advocated
by Caplan and Matheson. I will examine this view and propose that
if it is
to work (and explain the statements we make about musical works) it
should
include extension 'along the modal axis' too, to include possible
performances.
