Description
Carnal Hermeneutics explores a new field of study that seeks to understand our bodies as interpretations. This philosophical approach transcends traditional dualism between rational understanding and embodied sensibility, arguing that our most basic sensations are already interpretations. By rejecting the opposition of language to sensibility, word to flesh, and text to body, carnal hermeneutics examines the role of our carnal embodiment in shaping our experience and understanding. A range of prominent philosophers contribute to this volume, exploring the surplus of meaning that arises from our bodily presence in the world. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between the body and interpretation, inviting readers to consider the ways in which our bodies inform and shape our perceptions of reality.
