Sommario/riassunto

Schulkin presents neuroscientific research demonstrating that thought is not on one side and bodily sensibility on the other; biologically, they are integrated. Schulkin argues that this integration has implications for judgements about art and music, attraction and revulsion, and the perpetual inclination to explain ourselves and our surroundings.
