Instead, she invites us to relearn sensing together as key to an inevitable ethics of interembodiment.
“April NFlakne’s book succeeds admirably to explain the complex terrain of intercorporeality in its many dimensions and in the way it grounds common sense in its intimate, social and political possibilities. A pleasure to read. Her style is intimate, but precise, clear without sacrificing complexity…. at times poetic.”

April Flakne is a professor of philosophy at New College of Florida. She has published numerous articles and book chapters on Aristotle, phenomenology, political philosophy, and dance theory.
