Jeanette Bicknell, Ph.D.

This site is devoted to my academic work in philosophy.

My main area of research is the philosophy of art and music. I dispute the idea that the arts are self-contained. Traditional questions about art and music – regarding their ontological status, value, and possible contribution to knowledge – must be addressed within the broader context of their social role and functions.

Principled Dispute Resolution and Consulting is a site established for my work as a mediator and business ethics consultant.

Publication News

The Routledge Companion to Philosophy and Music just received a rating of "highly recommended" in Choice.   The Continuum Companion to Aesthetics has gone to print and should be available soon.  I'm proud to be a contributor to both.

Now blogging on "Psychology Today"

My new blog about music psychology can be found on the Psychology Today website.  New posts will appear monthly.
