Book "Philosophy of the body. The Body of Freedom" includes two monographs by famous philosophers Mikhail Epstein and Grigory Tulchinsky on physicality in modern culture and, above all, touch as the sensory basis of human relationships. The book covers those sides of physicality that are least developed by philosophy and are traditionally regarded as the lowest in the hierarchy of feelings and arts. In the era of the construction of artificial intelligence, man is increasingly defined as a natural, embodied mind, and carnal knowledge - as the basis of all cognitive and creative activity.
