Diane Dillon (1933-) & Leo Dillon (1933-2012), 'Coming To Our Senses', 1989 Cover to the book by Morris Berman that I discovered at the tender age of 17. The basic thrust concerns the subject of embodiment and how Western culture drifted into abstraction/rationalism and away from the sensuous, somatic dimension of our existence as organic beings in a world. (What I've just written is a bad synopsis given that it's been years since I've read the book but it's not entirely off the mark.) All I can tell you (dear reader) is that it helped steer me into the direction I took when I delved into the fields of philosophy and economics only to encounter a great deal of said "abstraction" and "rationalism", framing people not as embodied beings with sometimes conflicting urges and impulses but as detached, rational self-maximizers who coldly calculate each action with a strict cost-benefit measurement (you may think this is more economics than philosophy but you'd be surprised how much of philosophy carries this bias almost as an axiom). [Note: this was before "behavioral economics" really became a more ubiquitous approach in economic theory but I digress] I can say that I plan a re-read to see how the book holds up but I think I can safely suggest that you give it a read (<---that is a terribly constructed sentence). This book led me to several other books by Berman, the main two being his earlier book, The Re-enchantment of the World (which I also remember loving) and his later work (from 2000) The Wandering God: A Study in Nomadic Spirituality Morris, at least from the above books, is an eclectic scholar who meanders around topics finding their connections in interesting ways and his work did wonders for my curious young mind. His later books, like The Twilight of American Culture and Dark Ages America, while interesting in their analysis of America as a nation in late stage capitalism, didn't resonate with me like his earlier work did. Again, I have not read either of the above books since they were published so it might be worth re-visiting them too just to see what Berman got right and wrong about where the United States was headed.
