I think it will happen very rapidly. In the next issue, I expect to work with the idea of one's capacity for metaphor as one's capacity for a full life. Jerome Bruner once said the great beauty of human language is its metaphoric capacity . . . that we could represent the world to ourselves metaphorically, mutate our metaphors and change ourselves in the world. Bruner came up with that very beautiful and brilliant insight thirty or forty years ago. In it he says art is always presaging what will happen in the whole scientific, social world.
Art is the way by which everything is taught and learned.
Yes, this is the way to a real life. The rest of it is conditioning to another's employ, another's motive, another's idea of life. Also well-known as an exceptional public speaker on human intelligence, creativity, and learning, Pearce has presented over 2,500 programs to date at most major universities in the United States and various institutions worldwide.
