Event details
Audibilia
It is often suggested that the character of auditory experience is such that we can make sense of the idea of an audible world containing just the sounds that we hear, and that such a world would stand apart from and in contrast to the physical world of concrete objects and their activities. In this talk I reject that suggestion. I argue that we cannot make sense of the character of auditory experience other than in terms of auditory objects that persist apart from the sounds we hear, and I draw some conclusions about what in the world is audible.
