Description
Thinking through the Body: Essays in Somaesthetics by Richard Shusterman This collection of fourteen essays explores the philosophical foundations of somaesthetics, an interdisciplinary field that seeks to understand the relationship between body and mind. By integrating Western philosophy, cognitive science, and somatic methodologies with classical Asian theories, Shusterman offers a rich and nuanced understanding of somatic existence. The book delves into various aspects of human experience, including ethics, education, cultural politics, consciousness studies, sexuality, and the arts. It also examines key aesthetic concepts such as style and the sublime through the lens of somaesthetic perspectives. The volume includes practical exercises for the classroom and explores the concept of ars erotica as an art of living. Through its diverse range of topics and approaches, Thinking through the Body provides a unique perspective on the nature of human existence and our embodied experience of the world.
