In the course of years of writing on imagination, hospitality, and touch, Richard Kearney has shown, in ways both philosophical and poetic, what it is to meet the world in a spirit of open-handed generosity. In this beautiful collection, we see a group of thinkers meeting strangers and horses, gods and trees; they encounter the living and the dead in the written word and the moving image, on the seashore and in the digital classroom, in the history of philosophy and in life lived in the flesh, all in that open spirit that reaches for empathy without presuming understanding. Thinking across generations and in the midst of many orders of being, they show us all over again that the world is not just before our eyes but at our fingertips. If we are paying attention, the extraordinary shines through the ordinary. This is an exercise in thinking together. Be warned; you will find yourself thinking with these writers long after you have closed the book.
Anne O'Byrne, Philosophy, Stony Brook University, USA
If too many philosophers have colluded with a civilization out of touch with the lives, the bodies, the earth that make it up-this collection manifests an enlivening transdisciplinary alternative. Inspired by Richard Kearney's body of work-in its adventures in embodiment, its refusal of the culture of discarnation, its revelatory 'anacarnation' and its oh-so-needed ecology-this conversation brilliantly unfolds the flesh of a radically hospitable hermeneutics.
Catherine Keller, George T. Cobb Professor of Constructive Theology, Drew University, The Theological School, USA
