THE ENTANGLEMENT - ALVA NOË GEBUNDEN

In The Entanglement  philosopher Alva Noèe explores the inseparability of life  art  and
philosophy  and argues that we have radically underestimated the significance of this long
recognized but underappreciated reality  what he refers to as the entanglement. The core of The
Entanglement is the idea that human existence is inextricably aesthetic and philosophical. In
the first half of the book  Noèe offers a detailed examination of pictures and seeing  writing
and speech  and choreography and dancing  which serve as case studies and the base in which the
phenomenon of entanglement is set. In later chapters  Noèe deepens this analysis by exploring
the nature of the aesthetic itself  and its place in our lives  examining what the entanglement
can teach us about science  and  in particular  the project of applying science in the domain
of the human. In these later chapters he covers a range of topics  including sex  gender  and
the body  psychology and AI  the problem of style  and the nature of 'nature.' Drawing on his
work in perception  consciousness  and the philosophy of art  Noèe offers a new model for
thinking about the nature of the human  the limits to what a natural science of the human can
do on its own  and the irreplaceable importance of art and philosophy for the larger project of
studying and understanding ourselves--
