Jay Johnston

Angels of Desire

Esoteric Bodies, Aesthetics and Ethics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book to examine the Subtle Body - a model of subjectivity found in esoteric, eastern and western religious and philosophical traditions - from a transdisci-plinary and cross-cultural perspective. It considers this radical form of self as enabling an innovative reconsideration of the dualisms at the heart of western discourse.
