Books by Alphonso Lingis

Analyses how our culture elaborates our naturally evolved bodies by calling upon the new means contemporary thinkers have used to understand the body. He explains how we make our bodies foreign to ourselves and envisages what they may become.

Alphonso Lingis, traveller extraordinaire, discusses the trust that is inherent in travel and reflects on his many journeys. He finds a condition close to childlike innocence, where trust is ultimate and on the way discovers new truths about spirituality, masculinity, love, death, ecstasy and change.
