americas,arts music and photography,communication and media studies,home and garden,history,music,politics and social sciences,social sciences,theory,theory composition and performance, Rhythm and Self - Consciousness : Changed Ideals in Changing Periods of History, In ancient Greece there was a philosophical revolution which was concerned with the nature of generality. The ideals inherited from that time have been at the core of western civilization. But now, without much comment or notice, a new set of ideals have appeared centered, not in eternal forms, but the habit structure and mentality of individual persons. Its guiding principle is something which we can call "rhythm". It is an ideal of peak performance in superb athletes, musicians, and raconteurs. Until now, this ideal has lacked the type of explanation which Plato and Aristotle gave to concepts such as justice, beauty, and the good. The book, Rhythm and Self-Consciousness, contains a philosophy of rhythm, rhythm being a positive end of personal exertion. The negativity appears in the guise of self-consciousness, seen as a distraction from rhythm. (For the performance of rhythm requires intense concentration.) Self-consciousness is actually a double consciousness - a focus not only upon a concrete object of thought but also upon thought itself as an object. Rhythm becomes impossible under those conditions. Therefore, its cultivation involves the suppression of self-consciousness as well as the grooving of proper habits and skills and general physical conditioning. So we see that cultural ideals are not eternal but vary according to conditions of time and place. Foremost among those conditions would be a society’s dominant cultural technology.
