Date appointment - sex and philosophy

Book title: Date with Love, Sex, and Philosophy Author: R. Devor Mental Publisher: Capstone Summary: Philosophy is an art of touch, just as sex is an art of the mind. Touch is a living experience to know that reality which "we imagine in our minds," so philosophy is an art of touch only if it senses what we think about, and those ideas only appear thanks to this sensory art, while sex only involves a tangible experience of what we could not touch from the body of the other specifically. This other whom we want to explore, grasp, contain, and calm their fear or cause them pain or excite their pleasure reveals to us that overflowing intimacy, which appears strongly and always slips away, not only from the grip of desire but also from the grip of sexual practice. Therefore, the body of the other remains elusive to touch despite all possible attempts to contact it. Here, Spinoza's genius is manifested, as he sees that transcendence is closest to your self when you are unaware of it, and no one knows what the body is capable of, for it is the home of desire, the source of speech, the cradle of thought, its deep echo, its embodied substance, and its living history.
