Sommario/riassunto

In this capstone work of his career, Bruce W. Wilshire builds on William James's concept of the much-at-once to develop a holistic philosophy of the experiencing body, giving special attention to the importance of music, and engaging a rich array of thinkers and composers ranging from Jefferson and James to Beethoven and Mahler.
