Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

We are constantly being influenced and acted upon by various people, creatures and things, in other words, by beings outside our bodies. Taking Spinoza's concept of 'Affectus' as a base, this book is an attempt by fourteen specialists from various fields, including anthropology, Japanese painting, primatology, cognitive psychology and philosophy, to present their work from the perspective of Affectus.
