Marcel Cobussen Knihy

Rethinks the relationship between music and spirituality. This book presents an idea of spirituality in and through music that counters strategies of exclusion and mastering of alterity and connects it to wandering, erring, and roving.

The exploration of music's role in ethical discussions reveals its significant influence on moral behavior and theoretical ethics. Rather than proposing a broad musico-ethical theory, the book delves into practical applications, showcasing concrete examples that illustrate the enduring relationship between music and ethics. By addressing the often-overlooked ethical dimensions of music, it highlights how music can inform and shape our understanding of moral concepts in contemporary society.

The exploration delves into the significance of everyday sounds and their influence on human behavior, emotions, and creativity. Marcel Cobussen melds various disciplines such as sonic studies, philosophy, and sociology to present a clear and innovative perspective on sonic materialism. He advocates for a heightened awareness of our acoustic surroundings, emphasizing the (micro)political, social, and ethical implications of everyday sounds that warrant our attention.
