MUSIC AND MORALITY: Peter Kivy’s discursive “weakness”: the problem of moral entanglement of music
Journal Title: Miscellanea Anthropologica et Sociologica - Year 2015, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
In my essay I provide a comprehensive view of Peter Kivy’s argumentation concerningmoral entanglement of music. According to him, absolute music has no impact whatsoeveron morality, which has been examined in three respects. First of all, music cannotmake people act in a moral way (behavioral moral force). Secondly, it cannot help peopleto build a moral character (character building moral force). Finally, music has no power toimpart moral insights, even indirectly (epistemic moral force). Apart from that, however, Kivy seems to believe in the “mystery” of absolute music. As a listener, he wants to be toldthat great music has a power to transform a heart.
