There are many answers to the question of why life is worth living,
but they all presuppose that good lives are sensuously enjoyable.
Time seems to stand still in the moment when we enjoy food and
drink, peaceful, laughing relationships with friends, or lay
quietly, allowing the beauty of nature and human creations to
unfold before us. Embodied Humanism: Toward Solidarity and Sensuous
Enjoyment explores ways that enjoyment is also political. The
history of political struggle is a history of fighting back against
silencing, hunger, and violent domination, but also fighting for
social peace, need-satisfaction, voice, and democratic power.
Tracing the values of embodied humanism across history and across
cultures and identities, the book finds a more comprehensive
universal humanist ethic around which old and emerging struggles
can be unified. Ultimately, Jeff Noonan argues, these struggles can
be directed towards creating institutional structure and individual
dispositions that will secure the social conditions in which our
capacities for receptive openness and delight are satisfied for
each and all.
