In Search of Sublime Music
Since burke (1759/1990) and kant (1790/1922), even subjectivist approaches to the experience of the sublime have claimed that some objects afford it more than others. In 2021, nearly all the participants in the ANR SublimAE questionnaire gave precise answers when asked to identify a piece of music that elicited in them an experience of the sublime. We analyzed this collection of 128 tracks through Music Information Retrieval (MIR) techniques to d…

The Two Faces of Mental Imagery
Mental imagery has often been taken to be equivalent to “sensory imagination”, the perception‐like type of imagination at play when, for example, one visually imagines a flower when none is there, or auditorily imagines a music passage while wearing earplugs. I contend that the equation of mental imagery with sensory imagination stems from a confusion between two senses of mental imagery. In the first sense, mental imagery is used to refer to a p…
Supposition and the imaginative realm
Supposition and the Imaginative Realm: A Philosophical Inquiry
Supposition is frequently invoked in many fields within philosophy, including aesthetics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science and epistemology. However, there is a striking lack of consensus about the nature of supposition. What is supposition? Is supposition a sui generis type of mental state or is it reducible to some other type of mental state? These are the main questions Margherita Arcangeli explores in this book. She examines the char…
Interacting with Emotions: Imagination and Supposition
A widespread claim, which I call ‘the Emotionality Claim’ (EC), is that imagination but not supposition is intimately linked to emotion. In more cognitive jargon, imagination is connected to the affect system (i.e., the mechanisms that produce emotional responses), whereas supposition is not. EC is open to several interpretations which yield very different views about the nature of supposition. The literature lacks an in-depth analysis of EC whic…
