This book includes two monographs by famous philosophers on corporeality in modern culture. Mikhail Epstein and Grigory Tulchinsky in their works explore a person in the era of virtual and genetic technologies, while paying special attention to the ethical and aesthetic aspects of touch. Tactility, sensuality, love intimacy were traditionally considered in culture and philosophy as the “lowest” levels of perception of the surrounding world, however, in the era of the creation of an artificial mind, a person and his natural properties begin to be perceived differently, and carnal knowledge becomes the basis of cognitive and creative activity. As Mikhail Epstein writes, this book is “about how people think, love, create with the body.”
