Before René Descartes arrived at his famous statement, 'I think therefore I am,' he systematically cut himself off from all his embodied senses of sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste. This allowed him 'to be' without 'being-in-the-world.' This course will team philosophical inquiry (thinking and writing) with somatic exercises (developing our bodily knowledge) in order to ask: 'How can we learn from our bodies?' and, 'How do we learn with our bodies?'
