Show summary

Theorist: Support Hatred and anger, grief and despair, love and joy are pairs of emotions that consist of the same core feeling and are distinguishable from each other only in terms of the social conditions that cause them and the behavior they in turn cause. ██ ████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ █ █████ █████ ██ █████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ ████████ ████ ███ ████ ████ ████ █████ ████████ ███ ████ ██ █ █████ ████████ ███ █████ ██ ██████ █████ ████ ██████████ ██ ██████ ███████ ███████ ██████ ██████████ ███ █████ █████████

Summarize Argument

The theorist argues that even emotional music can only produce the “core” of a particular emotion, not the entire emotion. What the theorist means by the core of an emotion is that certain emotions involve the same basic feeling, or “core,” but are distinguished by social conditions and behavior associated with the emotion. The theorist also claims that “music is only sound,” so it can’t be responsible for the social conditions and behaviors that define certain emotions. Together, these two premises lead to the conclusion that music can’t be responsible for the entirety of an emotion, just its core.

Identify Argument Part

The claim that music is only sound (which cannot create social conditions or behavior) is one of two premises which work together to support the conclusion.
