"While the overarching rubric is philosophical, the arguments take up residency across the diverse terrain of philosophy ("analytic" and "continental"), cognitive psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, literary studies, musicology, and even visual culture. Most chapters are impressively accessible to non-specialists." -- Martin Scherzinger, Revue de musicologie

"It won't be an exaggeration to say that this volume is a philosophical landmark in the realm of aesthetics." -- Pablo Seoane Rodriguez, Teorema

"This remarkable collection of essays brings together philosophical and empirical approaches to the significance of rhythm across the arts. The approach is refreshingly interdisciplinary. Anyone concerned with the place of rhythm and metric structure in the arts, and-more generally-within the wider domain of human practices will find this an extraordinarily helpful volume." -- Robert Kraut, The Ohio State University

"Fascinating and mysterious, rhythm is at the heart of music, dance, poetry, sociology, and neuroscience. This inspired volume engages, enlightens, and is the first to explore rhythm across a broad range of philosophical, aesthetic, and perceptual domains. This book is required reading for anyone concerned with time and rhythm in contemporary life." -- Peter Nelson, University of Edinburgh

"A fascinating and broad overview. This book covers dance, poetry, literature, and painting, as well as music, all considered from a multidisciplinary perspective and including both Continental and analytic approaches to philosophy. This unfairly neglected topic richly rewards the serious treatment that The Philosophy of Rhythm accords it." -- Stephen Davies, University of Auckland

"This wonderful collection considers questions about rhythm from a wide variety of angles, perspectives, and disciplines-among them analytic and continental philosophy, musicology, art history, poetics, and neuroscience. Like the dialogue that opens the book, The Philosophy of Rhythm supports no particular line of thought or argument but enormously deepens our understanding of a topic so palpable and yet so mysterious." -- Christoph Cox, Hampshire College
