The essays in this volume focus on the cognitive functions of feeling and the body. They are wide-ranging in terms of methodologies and problematics represented. Authors argue, for example, that the body functions as a schema of logical thought; that through the body we have access to an intricacy more ordered than language and logic; that we benefit morally and socially by attention to the cognitive function of emotions; and that we cannot maintain the dignity of the world nor extend value without aesthetic engagement. Both traditional philosophy and contemporary developments come into play in the essays.
