- Title
What Is Music? Is There a Definitive Answer?
- Authors
MCKEOWN‐GREEN, JONATHAN
- Abstract
Philosophers frequently defend definitions by appealing to intuitions and contemporary folk classificatory norms. I raise methodological concerns that undermine some of these defenses. Focusing on Andrew Kania's recent definition of music, I argue that the way in which it has been developed leads to problems, and I show that a number of other definitions of interest to philosophers of art (and others) run into similar problems.
