The Process That Is the World grapples with John Cage not just as a
composer, but as a philosopher advocating for an ontology of
difference in keeping with the kind posited by Gilles Deleuze.
Cage's philosophy is not simply a novel method for composition, but
an extensive argument about the nature of reality itself, the
construction of subjects within that reality, and the manner in
which subjectivity and a self-creative world exist in productive
tension with one another. Over the course of the study, these
themes are developed in the realms of the ontology of a musical
work, performance practices, ethics, and eventually a study of
Cagean politics and the connection between aesthetic experience and
the generation of new forms of collective becoming-together. The
vision of Cage that emerges through this study is not simply that
of the maverick composer or the "inventor of genius," but of a
thinker and artist responding to insights about the
world-as-process as it extends through the philosophical, artistic,
and ethical registers: the world as potential for variance,
reinvention, and permanent revolution.
