Using phenomenology, research in the cognitive sciences, and first-person descriptions of musical experiences, this book addresses topics such as the relationship of music to identity, the capacity of music to be personally and socially transformative, the role of music in our perception of others, the connection between music and trauma, and the possibility of engendering we-experiences through shared musical time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eRachel Elliott is a Doctoral Lecturer in Philosophy at CUNY, College of Staten Island, in New York City.
