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.
