Sounds are public objects of auditory perception. By ‘object’ I mean only that which is perceived—that which is available for attention, thought, and demonstrative reference. Two listeners in a room may hear and talk about the same sound, and all in attendance may hear the sound of the same speech.
I first elucidate the qualitative and quantitative nature of sound, explaining the ideality and negativity of sound, the temporality and hylomorphic form of sound, the propagation of sound, the causal sources of sound, and the mechanical nature of sound.
One of the central questions in the philosophy of sounds and hearing is the question of space: what spaces or locations, if any, do sound perceptions make one aware of? When I hear a sound, do I perceive the direction of the sound? The direction (or distance) of the sound's source?
1 Οκτ 2007 · It demonstrates how thinking about audition and appreciating the relationships among multiple sense modalities enriches our understanding of perception. It articulates the central questions that comprise the philosophy of sound, and proposes a novel theory of sounds and their perception.
14 Ιουλ 2005 · The main relevant families of answers include proximal, medial, distal, and aspatial theories. Proximal theories would claim that sounds are where the hearer is. Medial theories—exemplified by mainstream acoustics—locate sounds in the medium between the resonating object and the hearer.
7 Ιαν 2003 · Abstract. Our standard view about sound is incoherent. On the one hand, we suppose that sound is a quality, not of the object that makes the sound, but of the surrounding medium. This is the supposition of our ordinary language, modern science and a long philosophical tradition.
What is the relation between sounds and sounding objects? Temporal and causal features of sounds will be important in deciding these and related questions. However, it turns out that a fruitful way to organize these issues deals with the spatial properties of sounds.
