Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Western civilisation, we have come to regard the body as an instrument or a machine that responds to external challenges but does not have a life or creativity of its own. Author Gabor Csepregi describes in detail the nature and scope of these innate abilities - our sensibility, spontaneity, mimetic faculty, sense of rhythm, memory, and imagination - and reflects on their significance in human life. |
