| Abstract | "Eudaimonia: Perspectives for Music Learning is an interdisciplinary book on eudaimonia, drawing insights from within and beyond the field of music education, claiming eudaimonia as a valuable concept for practical application in music learning and teaching in the 21st century. Eudaimonia - often interpreted as 'pursuing one's true purpose' - is a perennial philosophical concept, but frequently goes unarticulated, especially within the practice of music education. The book combines perspectives from seven innovative thinkers, who consider eudaimonia in paraxial music education philosophy, climate change, the body, the natural world, the social world, the cosmic scene, community music, and application of theory in music education. Eudaimonia is about purpose, identity, ethics, and virtue. It is about living well, and treating others accordingly, and concerned with societal harmony, community, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment through action. Contributing authors reflect on what the good life in music means, highlighting and discussing issues that lie at the core of the human experience and at heart of schooling and other educational environments, practices, and systems. The volumes hopes to gain traction as a readable and compelling, concise compendium of eudaimonia: perspectives for music education - and the first of its kind"-- Provided by publisher. |
