Emphasizing Indian philosophy and religion and related cross-cultural interpretations, it provides new intercultural interpretations of key Western concepts which traditionally were developed and followed in the vein of re-conceptualizations of Greek thought, as in Nietzsche and Heidegger, for example. The significance of the book lies in its establishment of a new platform for thinking philosophically about intersubjectivity, so as to nudge contemporary philosophy towards a more sensitive approach, which is needed in our times. Intended for philosophers, feminists and others concerned with intercultural philosophy, the book will appeal to readers interested in contemporary ethical and political theories. A Breath of Proximity will benefit all who seek a more sensitive approach in philosophy and often-neglected practical layers of our everyday intersubjective relations.   Life as breath: such is the grand theme of Lenart ?kof's wonderful new book. Ranging from Indian Vedic writings to Heidegger and Irigaray, Breath of Proximity cuts across the tired analytic/continental distinction in philosophy and proposes an ethical cosmology based on our human dwelling. A breath of fresh air!   Kevin Hart is Professor of Christian Studies at the University of Virginia   Lenart ?kof wrote a very interesting book on breath and breathing which expresses and analyzes the essence of human existence. The breath or wind is the core point of humans. As you know, you will read in John 3.8 that the humans are born from the wind. The breath and wind have something to do with the ethics of being human, because humans live with breath and breathing. Ethics is essentially a way of life through breathing.    Tadashi Ogawa is Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Kyoto University Breath and breathing are central themes of Asian philosophies since ancient times. This was also the case in ancient Europe. But we forgot about this dimension in our academic discourse. The book of Lenart ?kof brings into sight that well known Western philosophers of the 20th century picked this topic up again. The book is the most notable and far-reaching attempt to rediscover the fundamental dimension of breath and breathing for the contemporary discourse of philosophy.    Rolf Elberfeld is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hildesheim. 410 0$aSophia Studies in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Traditions and Cultures,$x2211-1107 ;$v10 606 $aReligion 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPersonality 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aReligious Studies, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A0000 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 606 $aPersonality and Social Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050 615 0$aReligion. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 14$aReligious Studies, general. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aPersonality and Social Psychology. 676 $a001.3 676 $a155.2 676 $a200 676 $a302 676 $a320 676 $a700 700 $a?kof$b Lenart$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226781 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483135203321 996 $aBreath of Proximity: Intersubjectivity, Ethics and Peace$92848529 997 $aUNINA
