关于音乐和艺术的道德导入,一直存在争议。一方面,道德观认为艺术与道德之间存在某种联系,即使指定此链接的方式可能非常多样化。它包含了大多数古典艺术的观点,从席勒的观点来看艺术教育在道德发展中的作用,任何宣称一种艺术形式腐败或堕落的观点,或启发性。在所有这些作品中,人们最低限度地认为艺术品的道德意义有助于其美学价值。另一方面,形式主义观点声称艺术品的美学价值是真实和自主的,因此,它独立于任何其他值。在本章中,我们专注于音乐,作为道德家观点最困难的案例,鉴于音乐缺乏代表性的内容。我们主张各种道德家的观点,根据这种观点,音乐艺术品的道德意义不是从其内容中得出的(显然,因为它缺少任何),但是从它的语用学:指导其组成和表现的背景和意图,与任何其他故意行为类比,并指出音乐的情感影响是弥合道德和审美价值的共同点。作为一个临时结论,我们概述了一项针对大脑研究的研究计划,作为一种测试其预测的方法,既关注估值的情感基础,也关注它们的背景依赖性。
There has been a controversy on the moral import of music and art in general. On the one hand, the moralist view contends that there is some sort of link between art and morality, even if the way to specify this link may be highly diverse. It comprises most of the classical views of art, from Schiller\'s view of the role of artistic education in moral development, to any view that declares a form of art as corrupt or degenerated, or enlightening. What it is assumed minimally in all of them is that the moral import of an artwork contributes to its aesthetic value. On the other hand, formalist views claim that the aesthetic value of an artwork is genuine and autonomous, and therefore it is independent of any other value. In this chapter we focus on music, as the most difficult
case for the moralist standpoint, given the lack of representational content of music. We argue for a variety of the moralist\'s view according to which the moral import of a musical artwork is not derived from its content (obviously, as it lack any), but from its pragmatics: the context and the intentions that guide its composition and performance, by analogy with any other intentional action, and point to the emotional impact of music as the common ground that bridges moral and aesthetic values. As a provisional conclusion, we outline a research program for brain studies that follows from this proposal, as a way test its predictions, focusing both on the emotional grounds of valuation and their context-dependency.
