de Gustibus: Arguing about Taste and Why We Do It
ISBN: 9780198746782 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In De Gustibus Peter Kivy deals with a question that has never been fully addressed by philosophers of art: why do we argue about art? We argue about the 'facts' of the world either to influence people's behaviour or simply to get them to see what we take to be the truth about the world. We argue over ethical matters, if we are ethical 'realists, ' because we think we are arguing about 'facts' in the world. And we argue about ethics, if we are 'emotivists, ' or are now what are called 'expressionists, ' which is to say, people who think matters of ethics are simply matters of 'attitude, ' to...

ISBN: 9780801485893 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In his new concluding chapter, Peter Kivy advances his argument on behalf of a distinctive intellectual and musical character of opera before Mozart.

Philosophies of Arts: An Essay in Differences
ISBN: 9780521598293 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since the beginning of the eighteenth century, the philosophy of art has been engaged in the project of defining fine arts by finding out what they have in common. Peter Kivy's purpose is to trace the history of that enterprise and argue that the definitional project has been unsuccessful, with absolute music as the continual stumbling block. His fruitful change of strategy entails exploring the differences among the arts instead of engaging in an obsessive quest for sameness. He presents five case studies in both literature and music.
