Geometries of Experience

<p><b>The first volume of essays in English on one of the most renowned contemporary Italian Philosophers.</b></p><p>Remo Bodei (1938-2019) was one of Italy's most influential philosophers of the past half-century. His intellectual influence was wide-reaching as he guided the search for rational explanations of seemingly irrational phenomena and the philosophical underpinnings of poetry. Diverse both in their disciplinary approach and theoretical style yet following a logical and coherent progression the essays within <i>Geometries of Experience</i> begin with an exploration of Bodei's methodology followed by an analysis of his interest in the crisis of subjectivity in modern culture; his engagement with Spinoza especially in his work <i>Geometria delle passioni</i>; his treatment of the body framed as a materialistic spirituality; and his engagement with the relationship between philosophy and poetry. Overall the book provides a rich and nuanced view of Bodei's intellectual legacy demonstrating his distinctive approach to philosophy and literature.</p>
