"The pluralistic form takes for me a stronger hold on reality than any other philosophy I know of, being essentially a social philosophy, a philosophy of 'co'"-William James
It would be a fun exercise to plug modern examples into these boxes. Instead of "charioteer," "white horse," black horse," for instance, it might be "Prius," "Corvette," "Lexus"... In the music category, Dean, which box is yours in?
Also remember, all, that you get another base for each additional author post (after your required weekly mini-essay, which gets you a whole run).
Be sure, everyone, to keep an accurate personal log of all your posts, comments etc., so you can accurately claim and account for your bases and runs on the scorecard.
Rational: Classical, Spirited: Jazz, Country, Rock, Hip-Hop w/ a positive message Appetitive: Rap, Rock w/ a pleasure (hedonistic) focus.
Genres of music is tough to determine because music is such a subjective experience that to classify a genre as being a certain type would be too miss the beauty of music. However, there are definitely certain artists or songs that are explicitly appetitive, such as a lot of popular rap, or rock songs about sex, drugs, and money. A good way to test a song would be analyze the lyrics and determine what area they fall into or what the message is communicating.
Good post but I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Appreciate it! Box Athens
