The book combines perspectives from seven innovative thinkers, who consider eudaimonia in paraxial music education philosophy, climate change, the body, the natural world, the social world, the cosmic scene, community music, and application of theory in music education. Eudaimonia is about purpose, identity, ethics, and virtue.
