Cover songs are a familiar feature of contemporary popular music. Musicians describe their own performances as covers, and audiences use the category to organize their listening and appreciation. However, until now philosophers have not had much to say about them. In A Philosophy of Cover Songs, P.D. Magnus demonstrates that philosophy provides a valuable toolbox for thinking about covers; in turn, the philosophy of cover songs illustrates some general points about philosophical method.

Josef Fulka's 'Kapitoly z filosofie nové hudby' explores the interplay between music, philosophy, literature, and film throughout the 20th century. The book focuses on the philosophical reflections on the abolition of the tonal system in music and the blurring of lines between musical sounds and natural noises, as seen in concrete music. Fulka examines the works of influential thinkers like Claude Lévi-Strauss, Theodor W. Adorno, Michel Foucault, and artists like Marcel Proust and Thomas Mann. The author delves into significant changes in musical language, such as the shift from tonality to atonality introduced by Arnold Schönberg, and the subsequent development of serialism. Through these discussions, Fulka addresses philosophical concerns related to the evolution and revolution in music, the role of composer freedom, and the nature of music itself. This scholarly work is intended for readers interested in the philosophical dimensions of 20th-century music.
