Touch is the first sense to develop in the womb, yet often it is
overlooked. The Senses of Touch examines the role of touching and
feeling as part of the fabric of everyday, embodied experience. How
can we think about touch? Problems of touch and tactility run as a
continuous thread in philosophy, psychology, medical writing and
representations in art, from Ancient Greece to the present day.
Picking through some of these threads, the book 'feels' its way
towards writing and thinking about touch as both sensory and
affective experience. Taking a broadly phenomenological framework
that traces tactility from Aristotle through the Enlightenment to
the present day, the book examines the role of touch across a range
of experiences including aesthetics, digital design, visual
impairment and touch therapies. The Senses of Touch thereby
demonstrates the varieties of sensory experience, and explores the
diverse range of our 'senses' of touch.
