Our Mission Statement
Here are the goals of the Music and Philosophy Interest Group:
- to further strengthen the interdisciplinary community committed to philosophical problems in the study of music
- to embrace Classical, Analytic, and Continental traditions of philosophy
- to expand upon the disciplines already committed to the study of music and philosophy (e.g., aesthetics, history of music theory, Adorno and critical theory, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, philosophy of mind, etc.)
- to reflect productively upon the core practices of musical analysis
Activities
The Music Philosophy Group plans various special sessions, symposia, discussion group sessions held at the Annual Meetings of the SMT, both as part of the formal SMT program as well as part of the meeting of the Music Philosophy Group itself that takes place as part of the Annual Meeting. The group also maintains an e-discussion list (with our sister group in the AMS) to discuss topics of interest and coordinate presentations and research activities
