Milič Čapek was the name recommended to me in my recent academic article peer-review for my soon-to-be published academic journal article. Last night I got more particulars from the chief editor of the journal - to read the book on Bergon's philosophy in relation to physics. https://archive.org/details/bergsonmodernphy0007cape Luckily it's on archive since it's a very rare, expensive book used.
Bergson and modern physics. A reinterpretation and re-evaluation
So I immediately dove with with a word search of music and then I searched "time-space" as per the recommendation of Professor Arran Gare, the process environmental philosopher who taught at Harvard with Doug Weiner. see also https://history.arizona.edu/person/douglas-weiner
Gare "recently he has aligned himself with Chinese environmentalists in the quest to create a global ecological civilisation."
However, while highlighting the deficiencies of Germanic and Anglophone analytic philosophy, these thinkers were ambivalent toward naturalism (even when they claimed to be materialists). They did give a limited place to speculative thinking, but no French philosopher (with the partial exceptions of Gaston Bachelard and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who died before he could fully develop his ideas) succeeded in formulating a fully non-reductionist naturalism that could transcend the opposition between science and the humanities and provide the foundations for a new social order. It is suggested that for this reason neither Marxism nor French philosophy has been able to combat the influence of analytic philosophy and reductionist scientism, overcome the destructive dynamics of a reinvigorated global market, or, most importantly, effectively combat the now prevailing nihilism and its ecologically destructive consequences. After assessing the achievements and limitations of the best Marxist and post-Marxist work on dialectics, the following chapter examines the efforts of three speculative naturalists, Robin Collingwood, C.S. Peirce and Alfred North Whitehead to characterize philosophy. While none of these identified their characterization of philosophical thinking as dialectical, it is argued that this is the best way to understand their philosophical work, and it is argued that, influenced by the tradition of thought that goes back to Schelling, these philosophers, developing radically new conceptual frameworks to understand the world, were advancing dialectical thinking.

Kurt Koffka, a German psychologist and co-founder of Gestalt psychology, believed that a melody is a Gestaltqualität, or a Gestalt quality.
"an effort to find a starting point for understanding the world more primordial than subjects and objects from which these could be seen to have co-emerged. From the perspective offered by this process metaphysics the claim of Kauffman and Markoš, that to comprehend the creativity of the world mathematics ultimately must be subordinated to stories,[15] is defended."
the 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. In the novel, the phrase is used as the title of a book written by a character that criticizes the attempt to impose mechanical laws on humans. The main character later uses the phrase when protesting against the loss of his free will due to aversion therapy.

In 1948 joined the Carleton College philosophy faculty. In 1962 he accepted a position as professor of philosophy at Boston University, where he served with distinction until his retirement in 1974... again, Carleton, as the Donald J. Cowling Distinguished Visiting professor of philosophy. In 1983 Čapek was honored by Carleton with a Doctor of Letters degree.[1]

Čapek was the author of numerous articles in scholarly journals[4][5] as well as of several books. Milič Čapek made major contributions to the understanding of the philosophical implications of relativity theory and quantum mechanics, and to the philosophy of time.[1] He supported a dynamic view of time with real flow and genuine becoming, as opposed to the common block universe view with its static interpretation of time.[6] Čapek stated that the reason why we think of time and space as "space-time" and rather than "time-space" is because we give priority to the spatial aspect in our effort to geometrize events and moments, or to render them "space-like", as Einstein said.[7]
