La música como hogar

Does music make us better as people and as a society? Throughout history, philosophers have pondered this question with a great deal of skepticism. Plato warned that music could cause serious changes in society. Many centuries later, Adorno spoke about the harmful power of jazz, which according to him made us submissive citizens. Alicja Gescinska is convinced that music has more power to elevate the spirit than to corrupt it, and that it can play a very important role in our personal and moral development. Today, however, we pay very little attention to it; In education, music has little relevance, and in daily life we ??perceive it above all as a source of entertainment, distraction or comfort. In Music as Home, an essay as lucid as it is convincing, Gescinska shows us that music is more a foundation than an ornament of our existence, and that it allows us to create a home for ourselves in the world.
