Restoring the Foundations of Epistemic Justification: A Direct Realist and Conceptualist Theory of Foundationalism

Foundationalism, as a theory of justification and knowledge, is often associated with Enlightenment rationality, the Cartesian thirst for certainty, and the modern assumption of the objectivity and universality of reason. Because of these associations, scholars in various fields have disdained foundationalism in favor of some sort of non-foundationalist/post-modern approach to knowledge and justification. This present book is one piece of a much wider conversation that hopes to motivate a renewed look at foundationalism. Of course, the foundationalism on offer has settled down quite a bit from its surly forbears. This more mild-mannered foundationalism suggests that our beliefs about reality can be held with confidence and yet these beliefs remain open to criticism and revision. It is this type of epistemology that provides a constructive basis for investigation and research while nevertheless encouraging a cognitive humility about our claims to possess truth.

Since his death in 1935 at the age of 68, the theories of Heinrich Schenker have become more and more appreciated and ever more widely disseminated in the universities and music conservatories of the world. Unfortunately, the systematizations of those theories have often been so arcane as to leave many theory students scratching their heads in confusion. Now here is a textbook which presents the analytic techniques of Schenkerian analysis in completely understandable terms. From an explanation of the basic ideas of Schenker to the intricate details of graphing, the student is led in logical steps through the analytical process with dozens and dozens of musical examples and graphic analyses. This text is an indispensable aid to the theory student and a must for every individual and institutional music library.
