What can we know about ourselves and the world through the sense of
touch and what are the epistemic limits of touch? Scepticism claims
that there is always something that slips through the
epistemologist's grasp. A Touch of Doubt explores the significance
of touch for the history of philosophical scepticism as well as for
scepticism as an embodied form of subversive political, religious,
and artistic practice. Drawing on the tradition of scepticism
within nineteenth- and twentieth-century continental philosophy and
psychoanalysis, this volume discusses how the sense of touch
uncovers contradictions within our knowledge of ourselves and the
world. It questions 1) what we can know through touch, 2) what we
can know about touch itself, and 3) how our experience of touching
the other and ourselves throws us into a state of doubt. This
volume is intended for students and scholars who wish to reconsider
the experience of touching in intersections of philosophy,
religion, art, and social and political practice.
