The Much-at-Once : Music, Science, Ecstasy, the Body, Paperback / softback Book

The Much-at-Once : Music, Science, Ecstasy, the Body Paperback / softback

Part of the American Philosophy series

Paperback / softback

Description

In this capstone work, the late Bruce Wilshire seeks to rediscover the fullness of life in the world by way of a more complete activation of the body’s potentials.

Appealing to our powers of hearing and feeling, with a special emphasis on music, he engages a rich array of composers, writers, and thinkers ranging from Beethoven and Mahler to Emerson and William James. Wilshire builds on James’s concept of the much-at-once to name the superabundance of the world that surrounds, nourishes, holds, and stimulates us; that pummels and provokes us; that responds to our deepest need—to feel ecstatically real.
