Musikästhetik

This musical aesthetic explores the question of what makes music an autonomous form of expression with its own cognitive quality. In doing so, it gradually develops an explanatory model that combines perspectives from a wide variety of disciplines. This plurality is seen as a necessary prerequisite for doing justice to the multidimensionality of music. The construction is built up successively by passing through the dimensions of expression, logic and language, work, interpretation, and new music. This is given plenty of space in order to be able to discuss the concept of musical autonomy in its entirety. The result is a systematic foundation for the main arguments in the debate with John Searle, Nelson Goodman, and, above all, the founders of pragmatism: Charles pp. and George H. Mead. Music is defined as a specific form of creative practice.

"Zehentreiter's procedural model encounters recently published music aesthetics and leaves conventional alternatives behind." (Jim Igor Kallenberg, Deutschlandfunk Kultur)
