Malcolm Budd

Malcolm Budd FBA (born 23 December 1941) is a British philosopher.

Budd studied mathematics and philosophy at Jesus College, Cambridge.

He taught at University College London from 1970 until 2001, and was appointed the Grote Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Logic from 1998 until his retirement.

He has published work on the expressive powers of music, the aesthetic appreciation of nature, and the values of art.

However, unlike Peter Kivy and Stephen Davies, Budd argues that music resembles the way that emotions feel.
