Summary

In this new book, the philosopher and critic Alphonso Lingisextends a question that has occupied him throughout his career: how are we to understand the strangeness of our bodies? Weaving together philosophy, psychoanalysis, and anthropology, Lingis explores how the body might be more richly understood in terms of parts. Moving from ethics to fetishism, from the functions of genitals to the distinctiveness of good actions, this is a unique and thought-provoking book.
