It connects two fascinating areas of philosophical research: the ontology of social groups and the philosophy of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterest in questions about the nature of music groups is growing. Since people are widely familiar with music groups, the topic is particularly well-suited for introducing issues in social ontology. Being comparably small-scale and temporary, music groups also provide an excellent case study for those who think that social groups are analyzed best by considering small groups. The present volume provides a comprehensive overview of the topic and seeks to establish the ontology of music groups as a distinct field of philosophical research. The chapters, written by leading scholars working on social ontology, revolve around four core themes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe identity of music groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariations between different kinds of music groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe persistence and longevity of (different kinds of) music groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarious characteristics of music groups, including their rational and emotional aspects, as well as their creative abilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors consider these themes across a wide range of music groups, including popular music groups, rock bands, alternative acts, hip hop crews, choirs and classical orchestras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Ontology of Music Groups \u003c\/em\u003ewill appeal to scholars and advanced students working in social ontology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56191618056536,"sku":"9781032593173","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032593173_34dd1eb0-a545-48d2-9a89-941aec0c5dcc.jpg?v=1770533140","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ontology-of-music-groups","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
