- This monograph proposes a novel aesthetics of popular music and an associated theory of value, synthesising and extending research conducted over a number of years across philosophical and musicological boundaries. Using resources derived from Kantian aesthetic and political theory, and from Frankfurt School Critical Theory, but also from empirical attention to the actual judgements people make about popular music, the book outlines a way of thinking about aesthetic value that can accommodate popular music without apology, by thinking with pop rather than ‘about’ it.
