<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this penetrating book, Nuzzo enters new terrain and takes on questions Kant struggled with: How does a body that feels pleasure and pain, desire, anger, and fear understand and experience reason and strive toward knowledge? What grounds the body's experience of art and beauty? What kind of feeling is the feeling of being alive? As she comes to grips with answers, Nuzzo goes beyond Kant to revise our view of embodiment and the essential conditions that make human experience possible.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Angelica Nuzzo offers a comprehensive reconstruction of Kant's theory of sensibility in his three <i>Critiques.</i> By introducing the notion of transcendental embodiment, Nuzzo proposes a new understanding of Kant's views on science, nature, morality, and art. She shows that the issue of human embodiment is coherently addressed and key to comprehending vexing issues in Kant's work as a whole.
