       This edited collection in 2012  And in 2103 I have a book on music forthcoming.

    Together with other members of the steering committe of the Music and Philosophy Study Group, I help organize an annual conference on music and philosophy. Details of the organisation and of the conferences can be found here. 


    Together with my colleague Andy Hamilton, I ran a conference in July 2008 on the aesthetics of Roger Scruton. Details, programme and abstracts can be found here. Some photos can be found here. A special issue of the British Journal of Aesthetics (2009) published a selection of the papers presented, and some of those paper plus others appears in the edited volume above.
