English summary: A life of leisure holds the promise of a way of living that is self-determined and fulfilling. Yet it is in no way clear what leisure is. The definition of leisure cannot be given with the distinction of work and free time. For leisure is ‘more’ than and something other than free time–but what kind of ‘more’ is sought here? What kind of happiness does leisure promise? Is there a freedom realised only in leisure? The volume approaches the topic of leisure from the disciplinary perspectives of philosophy, theology, sociology, psychology, and medicine. These perspectives open up a field of concepts from which leisure can be understood: work and free time, contemplation, releasement, and mindfulness. German description: Mit einem Leben in Musse ist das Versprechen eines selbstbestimmten und erfullten Daseins verbunden. Dabei ist keineswegs klar, was Musse ausmacht. Durch die Unterscheidung von Arbeit und Freizeit ist das Spezifikum der Musse nicht zu fassen. Denn Musse ist `mehr` und anderes als Freizeit – aber was ist das fur ein Mehr? Was fur ein Gluck verspricht die Musse? Gibt es eine Freiheit, die sich nur in Musse realisiert?Der Band nahert sich dem Thema der Musse aus den disziplinaren Perspektiven von Philosophie, Theologie, Soziologie, Psychologie und Medizin. Diese Perspektiven erschliessen ein Feld von Konzepten, von denen her sich Musse verstehen lasst: Arbeit und Freizeit, Kontemplation, Gelassenheit und Achtsamkeit.
