| Abstract: | The human body is the primary instrument of war, yet those waging war often confront soldiers' bodies in a detached or merely intellectual way. In The 'Tenderness of Silent Minds', Martha C. Nussbaum, a leading thinker on emotion, morality, and justice, conducts a pioneering study of Benjamin Britten's musical representations of the tender male body amidst the brutality of war, and their ability to transform consciousness by evoking potent, non-personal emotions. |

| | "The Tenderness of Silent Minds presents Benjamin Britten's musical representations of the body amidst the brutality of war and their ability to transform consciousness by evoking potent, non-personal emotions. It also highlights Britten's notions about the value and beauty of the body in correlation with his partnership with singer Peter Pears, his lover. Technical musicological analysis within philosophical accounts of the aesthetics of the musical portrayal of war and the ethics of pacifism allowed a compelling framework for critically assessing Britten's oeuvre. Moreover, the perspectives from Britten's letters help highlight the social and political backdrop of fear and homophobic disgust in mid-twentieth century Britain. The Tenderness of Silent Minds also focuses on how War Requiem confronted listeners with the reality of bodily experience in war, eliciting compassion through its depiction of beauty, vulnerability, and eroticism"-- |
