Musik hören - Zeit für den Augenblick haben. Ästhetische Wahrnehmung, Erfahrung und Bildung in der digitalen Gegenwart

This article explains that aesthetic education creates a space and time in which the dedication to present phenomena, to the presence of phenomena fundamental to education can develop. In this spirit, aesthetic education can become a corrective to a utilitarian and economic-driven development of competences and qualifications. The theoretical point of departure for these reflections are the positions of German philosopher and representative of the Frankfurt School Martin Seel. They are illustrated using examples from music that calls for attention to its present presence: Steve Reich‘s "Piano Phase", the hip hop movement and the "Sounding D" project.
