It seems self-evident that music plays more than just an aesthetic
role in contemporary society. In addition, music's social,
political, emancipatory, and economical functions have been the
subject of much recent research. Given this, it is surprising that
the subject of ethics has often been neglected in discussions about
music. The various forms of engagement between music and ethics are
more relevant than ever, and require sustained attention. Music and
Ethics examines different ways in which music can 'in itself' - in
a uniquely musical way - contribute to theoretical discussions
about ethics as well as concrete moral behaviour. We consider music
as process, and music-making as interaction. Fundamental to our
understanding is music's association with engagement, including
contact with music through the act of listening, music as an
immanent critical process that possesses profound cultural and
historical significance, and as an art form that can be
world-disclosive, formative of subjectivity, and contributive to
intersubjective relations. Music and Ethics does not offer a
general musico-ethical theory, but explores ethics as a practical
concept, and demonstrates through concrete examples that the
relation between music and ethics has never been absent.
