Use these instructions to obtain information on the philosophy of music and the philosophy of art.
I. For hardcopy (print) books, eBooks, articles, theses & dissertations and more use the Discovery catalog on the library Web site <www.masters.edu>. Copy and paste the following search queries in the Search box.
For Philosophy of Music resources search:
> su:music christianity
> su:music philos* christianity
> su:music philos* religious
> su:music religion
> su:music religious
> su:music philosophy
For Philosophy of Art resources search:
> su:art christianity
> su:art philos* christianity
> su:art philos* religious
> su:art religion
> su:art religious
> su:art philosophy
NOTE 1: The use of <su:> commands the Discovery search engine to look only in the Subject field of each record for the terms that follow. This will focus the search to works that specifically deal with the topic.
NOTE 2: The use of the asterisk (*) at the end of a word commands most search engines to find the root and all variations thereafter. For example, philos* will retrieve philosophy, philosophical, philosopher, philosophies, philosophers.
NOTE 3: Use the refining option "Resource Format" to the left of the results list to select only print books, ebooks, theses & dissertations, audiobooks, etc.
NOTE 4: Use the refining option "Content Type" to select only "Peer Reviewed" articles.
