Music and Philosophy: Meaning and Ineffability

The RMA Music and Philosophy Study Group warmly invites paper submissions for this two-day international conference, to be held in London on 20-21 July 2012. The event, the second of an annual series of conferences run by the Study Group, will offer an opportunity for those with an interest in music and philosophy to share and discuss work, in the hope of furthering dialogue in this area.

There will be an opening plenary session addressing the question 'Is Adorno a dead duck?' with:

• Andrew Bowie (Royal Holloway, University of London)
• Stephen Hinton (Stanford University)

The conference will close with a summary plenary discussion whose panellists include:

• Jerrold Levinson (University of Maryland)
