While it doesn't make sense to me to say “That girl is an angry person because she listens to punk music," it does seem intuitive to say "She is feeling mellow because she is listening to smooth jazz" or "She is feeling angry now because she is listening to an angry punk song." The example you included concerns a person "being an angry person," which seems to be a more permanent (or at least dispositional) cognitive state. The second two options describe a state of mind at a time and not a person's general emotional attitude. It's these latter options that *do* seem to be influenced by music. <br /><br />So, what do you say to someone who says "I feel happy because I just listened to some dixieland jazz?" Are they just mistaken about what caused their mental state? If so, why do they feel happy after listening to this music? <br /><br />Finally, do you think lyrics are part of music? If so, then it seems obvious that music can affect our emotions. If I listen to some Bob Dylan, the lyrics might make me feel inspired or melancholy. Politically charged music might get me motivated to make a difference or even be informative. <br /><br />I don't really know anything about philosophy of music, so I am interested to hear what you have to say.Travis Timmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662517213080357115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4566162782467918402.post-57108918934363296702012-02-23T20:38:08.303-08:002012-02-23T20:38:08.303-08:00I love this article.

Isn't that why we listen to music? I know if I'm having a rough day, I'll listen to some happy music, and my mood will change almost instantly. <br />On another note, I think it's a really interesting matter to explore whether people who have a wide variety of musical tastes are able to sympathize with a wider range of people. I think there might be something to that; shared musical taste gives politically neutral common ground. (but plato might disagree!)aphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833922298250450324noreply@blogger.com
