Contextualizing Platonism and decontextualizing Aristotelianism in the ontology of music García Carril Puy, Nemesio This paper argues against a widespread view that links musical Platonism and Aristotelianism with opposite ways of individuating musical works. This view assumes that Platonism is bound to individuate works of music in sonicist and non-contextualist terms, while Aristotelianism is tied to instrumentalist and contextualist accounts on work-individuation. I argue that this assumption is wrong. I provide an argument that shows that the differences between musical Platonism and Aristotelianism concern the existence conditions of musical works qua types, but not their identity conditions. Assuming that the existence and individuation conditions of types are given by their associated properties, I defend that the disagreement between Platonism and Aristotelianism is about the principle of instantiation of properties, regardless if these properties are monadic (sonicism and non-contextualism) or relational (instrumentalism and contextualism). 2024-10-03T08:56:21Z 2024-10-03T08:56:21Z 2024-10-03T08:56:21Z 2020 journal article https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/108566 0021-8529 10.1111/jaac.12714 1540-6245 eng Info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/MINECO/Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2017-2020/FFI2016-80088-P Puy, Nemesio G.
