Books by Alphonso Lingis

Lingis presents the arguments developed by the six philosophers, critically assesses them, and offers his own explanation of how the libidinal body can be characterized, what the libidinal drive is, and what alterity commands in the erotic imperative.

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.

Explores the religion of animals, the force in blessings and in curses.

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.
