The author considers music playing traditions which have developed physical mastery to serve expressive ends. He asks how well performance proper has stood up and where its unique value lies. Aimed at students of aesthetics, the philosophy of music, musicologists and performance specialists.

Synopsis:

Philosophers on Education offers us the most comprehensive available history of philosopher's views and impacts on the directions of education. As Amelie Rorty explains, in describing a history of education, we are essentially describing and gaining the clearest understanding of the issues that presently concern and divide us. The essays in this stellar collection are written by some of the finest comtemporary philosophers. Those interested in history of philosophy, epistemology, moral psychology and education, and political theory will find Philosophers on Education to be both an engaging and fascinating read.
