What is jazz? How does it differ from other types of music? And in how far does it constitute a compelling object for the study of aesthetic questions? This volume represents the first comprehensive philosophical investigation of jazz.

Daniel Martin Feige explores the relationship between jazz and European classical music and considers the interaction between the musician and tradition, and between the work and improvisation. Feige’s study departs from the original thesis that the advent of jazz rendered central aspects of musical praxis explicit, which in the tradition of European classical music had always remained merely implicit.

»Feige’s ... book is a must-read, ideally before or after jazz concerts.« taz. die tageszeitung

»As a humanities scholar and former jazz professional, the author is predestined for the subject.« Hans Hielscher, Spiegel Online

»An intelligent introduction to jazz.« Tages-Anzeiger

»Feige’s contributions to the discourse are inspired; they have the makings of a classic.« SWR2

»This book is a blessing for our small world.« jazzcity.de

»Considering the majority of other writings on jazz as a system, a theory, or a ›frame of mind,‹ this short book actually can enhance your perspective on jazz.« Dr. Alexander Ebert, jive-talk.com

The Nature of Man
Year of Publication: 2022
Daniel Martin FeigeYear of Publication: 2022
Anthropological questions are widely discussed in philosophy once more, with neo-Aristotelian and neo-Kantian approaches dominating. In his new book, Daniel Martin Feige develops an alternative proposal that approaches the question of the human being from the perspective of Hegelian philosophy and Critical Theory. Man is that living being which makes itself what it understands itself to be. In...
Design
Year of Publication: 2018
Daniel Martin FeigeYear of Publication: 2018

Whether furniture, hoardings, websites, clothing, pictograms, cars, or urban spaces: design is omnipresent. Only in philosophy has it up until now not received (almost) any consideration.


Daniel Martin Feige closes this gap by presenting a series of basic concepts that have to do with design, and presents design as an aesthetic praxis with its own rules. According to his thesis, in...

Computer Games
