Description
Richard Kearney explores the role of touch in our lives, arguing that it is our most primordial sense and foundational to our individual and common selves. He examines the ways in which touch has been understood across different cultures and traditions, from ancient wisdom to modern therapies.
The author makes a case for the complementarity of touch and technology, highlighting the importance of interdependence in our relationships with others and with the world around us. This book is a passionate plea to recover a tangible sense of community and the joys of life with others.
