Prompt for 11-27

Open reaction to the joint class - you may want to address one or more of the discussion questions:

1) What affinities do you see between Hegel and Beethoven?

2) Is it inevitable that music and philosophy should both reflect the zeitgeist?

3) What's the zeitgeist today, and how is it reflected in music today?

  1. I believe that Zeitgeist today is marketing and making money. They are kind of selling our soul and ruining the genuineness of music. I’ve noticed that in a lot of popular songs I don't sense any true emotions. I don't believe that there is anything true about it it's all fake. They are just trying to make money and the more they produce the more money they make. Also I think the music a person listens to defines them so people who may listen to a lot of fake mainstream may be a little fake themselves..? Or just may be being manipulated by these producers who are just out to get some money. I’ve also noticed there’s a constant change in music there is some many different ranges, you just need to look for music and not just accept what playing on the radio.
