Open Range: Grief, Humor, Music and Other Occasions

by Ralph Thurston

Open Range is a navigational tool, guiding the reader on a difficult but rewarding journey through consciousness and subjective experience, making stops at the hidden but intense areas of grief, humor, music, and the self. Borrowing ideas from Whitehead, Bergson, and Bateson, the author explores the occasion, the smallest bit of experience, vijnana, the river of self-occasions, and recursiveness, the way we weave past occasions into the present.
