About
My research interests primarily lie within aesthetics and philosophy of perception with particular interest in the philosophy of music—the ontology of musical works, musical understanding, the relationship (or lack thereof) between music and language, and the philosophical problems surrounding the perception of music. I am also interested in the nature of aesthetic experience, aesthetic properties, definitions of art and the relationship (or lack thereof) between aesthetic judgments and ethical judgments. Within the field of perception, I am particularly interested in examining the nature of auditory experience and developing an account of the representation of the contents of auditory experience. Perhaps controversially, I do not see a sharp distinction between my work in aesthetics and my work in perception. In fact, I view these as basically the same field, but each having a focus on different (closely related) issues.
