Description
"A leading philosopher steeped in the Western tradition here thinks through ancient Eastern disciplines, meditating on what it means to learn to breathe, and urging us all at the dawn of a new century to rediscover indigenous Asian cultures.". "Luce Irigaray's focus on breath in this book is a natural outgrowth of the attention that she has given in previous books to the elements - air, water, and fire. By returning to fundamental human experiences - breathing and sexual difference - she finds a way out of the endless sociologizing abstractions of much contemporary thought to rethink questions of race, ethnicity, and globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
