An argument for the ethical applications and uses of music.

Music Making and Civic Imagination makes a powerful case for the potential of music to aid in human flourishing. Dave Camlin, a musician and educator, lays out a holistic philosophy of music, acknowledging the complex web of meaning which spreads across its many complementary dimensions. As a performance of ethical human values of love, reciprocity, and justice, the making of music, Camlin shows, can help facilitate ethical human connection and be a resource for both imagining and inhabiting the kind of world we might wish to live in.

Reviews for Music Making and Civic Imagination: A Holistic Philosophy

Camlin has an uncanny ability to uncover and make visible the fundamental truths about musicing that we intuit from practice. Camlin’s quest to understand the phenomenon of musicing has led him to read widely from many different disciplines, which moves us towards a consilient understanding of why music is of such tremendous value now, more than ever. This book is a tremendous contribution to the discourse on what it means 'to music' and what music can mean for the survival of our species, and the planet. -- Melissa Forbes, Associate Professor in Contemporary Singing, University of Southern Queensland, on Giabal and Jarowair Country, Australia
