Time of Life 21 Eastern Teachings 49 Way of Breath 73 Being I, Being We 93 Family Begins With Two 105 Approaching the Other As Other 121 Mixing: A Principle for Refounding Community 131.
Summary: "A leading philosopher steeped in the Western tradition here thinks through ancient Eastern disciplines, meditating on what it means to learn to breathe, and urging us all at the dawn of a new century to rediscover indigenous Asian cultures." "Luce Irigaray's focus on breath in this book is a natural outgrowth of the attention that she has given in previous books to the elements - air, water, and fire. By returning to fundamental human experiences - breathing and sexual difference - she finds a way out of the endless sociologizing abstractions of much contemporary thought to rethink questions of race, ethnicity, and globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
