Involution in the sensuous

Alphonso Lingis

pp. 59-72

Abstract

The term sensation is ambiguous: on the one hand, to sense something is to catch on to the sense of something, its direction, orientation or meaning. On the other hand, to sense something is to be sensitive to something, to feel a contact with it, to be affected by it.
