“During my studies in Freiburg I found myself saying to a friend that if there is one thing I could say about truth this was that it hits its target (“Wahrheit trifft”). What I had in mind when I was saying this was not a concept or an idea of truth but a certain corporeal experience that goes along with thinking when an event or thought exhibits a certain creative and transformative power. Of course, this corporeal experience is not always the same, but it marks a site for thought that I have been seeking and enjoying since my first early and tentative attempts in the field of philosophy. What does not pass through that site remains for me on a philosophical level unintelligible and uninteresting. This experience of a corporeal site of thinking is what guides the explorations of this book.”
From the preface to The Bodily Dimension in Thinking by Daniela Vallega-Neu.
