Peter Szendy je francúzsky filozof a muzikológ, ktorý sa zameriava na kritiku romantických a modernistických poňatí počúvania. Jeho dielo skúma, akým spôsobom vnímame zvuk a hudbu, a odhaľuje hlbšie historické a filozofické súvislosti nášho sluchového vnímania. Jeho práca nabáda čitateľov k novému zamysleniu nad tým, ako zvuk ovplyvňuje naše životy a kultúru. Szendyho prístup ponúka prenikavý pohľad na spôsob, akým sa naše uši stali kľúčovým nástrojom na pochopenie sveta.
