Based on analyse of S. K. Langer ́s work, the author points out to her philosophical thinking principles that became the basis of her art concept. This American woman philosopher forms one of the American aesthetics posts. The author is going to depict the connections between Langer ́s philosophy of art and her „aesthetics of art“, being conceptually completed by her students, e. g. N. Goodman, A. C. Danto and others. The author is also going to pay a special attention to Langer ́s understanding of meaning in comparison with E. Cassirer, L. Wittgenstein, Ch. S. Peirce and A. N. Whitehead, who formed the theoretical background of her considerations. Towards the end itself, the author is going to show the possibilities of Langer ́s aesthetics applied on the 20th century art.

The paper begins with an overview of various well-known accounts of the musical expression of emotion that have been proposed in recent years. But rather than proceeding to assess the merits and faults of these accounts the paper examines whether a radically new theory by Christopher Peacocke is superior to all of them. The theory, which certainly has a number of attractive features, is based on the idea of metaphorical-as perception. The notion of metaphorical-as perception needs to be elucidated and the examination of Peacocke’s theory takes place by playing it off against a rival theory that is based on a different kind of perception, imaginative-as perception. The paper argues that, as the basis of an account of the musical expression of emotion, imaginative-as perception has all the advantages and none of the apparent defects of metaphorical-as perception.
