 Analytic philosophy has so far manifested relatively little interest in matters of musical value and music’s connection with moral, social, and political issues. Roger Scruton (1944–2020) deserves mention in this connection. His work shares with analytic philosophy some broad thematic areas of interest, but generally defies categorization. The sustained discussion of matters such as the socio-cultural dimension of music and musical value sets his humanistic approach apart from much other philosophical writing on music in the Anglophone world (see particularly Scruton 1997).
