Plato and Aristotle on the Nature of Wisdom - In which an attempt is made to draw from Aristotle's 'Nichomachean Ethics' and Plato's 'Apology' a coherent theory of wisdom to serve as the basis of the following discussion. 18 2. Moderate Realism as the Epistemic and Metaethical Basis of Wisdom. - In which the kind of moral realism and free will which seem to be entailed by the ancient theories of wisdom are adapted into an epistemic attitude of good-humoured forgiveness which will serve as a metaethical basis for the whole discussion of wisdom. 37 3. An Amalgamation of Philosophy and Anthropology as the Best Method for Gaining Wisdom. - In which an outline is offered for the kind of virtue which will be looked for in this investigation and a model of (moral) learning is suggested (based on an amalgam of anthropological and philosophical methods) which can act as the means by which the investigation can be pursued.

This dissertation attempts to answer the question: Can experimental results be used as arguments in the philosophical debates? In particular, can the results of experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience be applied in normative philosophy such as aesthetics? The greatest motivation in starting this project was to determine the relationship between highly abstract, general and/or normative problems of philosophy on one hand, and the descriptive and highly specific and detailed results of the experimental research on the other hand. I chose aesthetics of music as a case study because it seemed particularly convenient for this kind of enterprise. It is built upon an assortment of abstract and sometimes vague questions such as: What is the meaning of a musical work? What kind of meaning can music possess? How does music communicate its meaning? What makes a musical work valuable? Is aesthetic value inherent to the musical work? Are all aesthetic judgments equally justified? How does music express emotions? How can music evoke emotions in the listeners? The philosophical debates around these issues have lasted for centuries, and it seems, unfortunately, that with time they have not been growing more precise, convincing nor sophisticated.

This will affect the spelling, grammar and syntax you may be used to. It might come across as typos, awkward sentences, poor grammar, or missed/wrong words. In the majority of cases (I won't claim it's infallible, despite all best efforts), this is intentional and just an Aussie way of speaking (it took my US beta readers a bit to get used to). I can't say 'the' Aussie way, since we seem to differ even within the same state. Just think of us as a weird mix of British and US vernacular and colloquialisms, but with our own randomness thrown in. I still hope you enjoy it, though!Contains possible triggers.
