Borgmann does not place musical performance in the associated category, \u201cfocal practice\u201d; this chapter does. Among the benefits of examining performance and instruments through Borgmann\u2019s framework, we are given the conceptual tools for understanding just how some technologies make a positive contribution to performance (in terms of what the author calls \u201ctechnological paraphernalia\u201d) and just how other technologies threaten the focal practice of performance (what Borgmann calls \u201ctechnological devices\u201d). More broadly, Borgmann has a unique way of articulating what it is to treat performance and instruments as ends in themselves rather than as means. Through this articulation, we see that performance and instruments can contribute to a good life through what Borgmann calls \u201ccentering.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cPerformance, Technology, and the Good Life,\u201d by Tiger Roholt (Philosophy), is now available on Oxford Academic Online.
