Table of ContentsIntroduction 1: The Type/Token Theory Introduced 2: Types I: Abstract, Unstructured, Unchanging 3: Types II: Platonism 4: Defending the Type/Token Theory I 5: Defending the Type/Token Theory II: Musical Platonism 6: Musical Works as Continuants: A Theory Rejected 7: Musical Works as Compositional Actions: A Critique 8: Sonicism I: Against Instrumentalism 9: Sonicism II: Against ContextualismReviewsDodd's book is a fascinating work, which would appeal to a wide readership. I believe it may present the best possible case for musical Platonism; whether drawn towards musical Platonism or inclined to reject it, all readers would do well to start here. Also, given the importance of ontological questions within the philosophy of music, and the unique challenges music presents for the ontology of art, Dodd's book should be read by anyone interested in either of these areas. Christopher Bartel, The Philosophical Quarterly Anyone even remotely interested in the ontology of music ought to read Julian Dodd's Works of Music: Dodd's novel contributions are many, interesting, and impossible to ignore. Stefano Predelli, Mind ...a lucid work of analytic metaphysics. Ben Caplan, British Journal of Aesthetics This is an excellent book. Written with clarity and verve ... a pleasure to read: clear, thoroughly argued, uncompromising, and witty. It is the book to read on its subject-matter.
