Music as a path to self-inquiry

Sharpley John Stephen frames music as more than entertainment or a commodity, exploring its place in human identity and self-understanding. The book connects music with the arts, sciences, mathematics, philosophy, history, and spirituality, building a broad, interdisciplinary view of how it can relate to empowerment and self-realization. Its central tension is that music is presented as an infinite field, while any attempt to define it is necessarily limited. That paradox gives the book its philosophical direction, linking questions about music to questions about the self and the limits of perception.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Music lovers interested in philosophical approaches to the subject
  • Readers curious about connections between music, spirituality, and other fields of study
  • Those exploring identity and self-realization through music

Book overview

Modern society has come to view music largely as entertainment and commodity. In response, We Are Music: An Existential Journey Toward Infinity provides the reader with a holistic starting point. Music has unlimited potential to transform and enlighten, and is only impeded when bound by materialism, physicalism, and reductionism. We Are Music is an attempt to bring music back to the core of humanity as an agent of positive empowerment, self-actualization, and beyond.

 

Embracing interconnectivity, music is more deeply experienced alongside the arts, science, social sciences, math, philosophy, history, and, above all, spirituality. An endless spiral, self-perception and identity can be vastly expanded, if not questioned and transcended.

 

Music is an infinite field and any attempt to define and describe it is problematically finite and consequently limited. Herein lies the impossibility of the book which both excites and disturbs; the paradox of being and not being.

 

A roadmap for music lovers toward self-realization, We Are Music is for those who desire to delve deeper into the power and illusion of self through music.
