5.0 out of 5 stars A treatise on rhythm as the essence of human personality, December 16, 2001

This review is from: Rhythm and Self-Consciousness: New Ideals for an Electronic Civilization (Paperback)

William McGaughey's Rhythm And Self-consciousness: New Ideals For An Electronic Civilization is a treatise on rhythm as the essence of human personality and talent in any performance, whether in music, athletics, or conversational wit. Divided into three main sections on Form, Rhythm, and Self-Consciousness, this book takes a hard, analytical look at each facet and how all three relate to the human psyche. Highly intriguing, especially for musicians, athletes, and philosophers alike - it would seem these three groups have far more in common than one would guess. Also recommended is the previous book in this series, Five Epochs of Civilization. Rhythm And Self-Consciousness is strongly recommended reading for students of philosophy and the impact that moving from print to an electronic culture has had on contemporary notions of "civilization".
