In the process she also sheds light on central issues in the theory of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaffman invokes recent theory in linguistics and cognitive psychology to provide an account of the content and etiology of musical knowledge that \"can not be put into words.\" Within the framework of Lerdahl and Jackendoff's generative theory of music perception, she isolates three kinds of ineffability attending our conscious knowledge of music--access, feeling, and nuance ineffability--and shows how these arise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaffman makes a detailed comparison of linguistic and musical understanding, culminating in an attack on the traditional idea that human emotions constitute the meaning or semantic content of music. She compares her account of musical ineffability to several traditional approaches to the problem, particularly those of Nelson Goodman and Stanley Cavell. In the concluding chapter, Raffman explores a significant obstacle that her theory poses to Daniel Dennett's propositional theory of consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiana Raffman is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the Ohio State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 12, 1993\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45863241810117,"sku":"9780262519359","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/NVloN2ZoQi9STTV3VkpiNWFUeU1zUT09.webp?v=1771580827","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/language-music-and-mind-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
