Summary:

"This richly illustrated book explores the drive to shape life as a spatial project--from Plato to the isolation of digital space--and is aimed at recovering the feeling of space as a sensory realm"-- Provided by publisher.
"Place is something real, but space is generally conceived as abstract and immaterial. In The Feeling of Space, Christopher Bardt explores this damaging modern binary and traces the contradictory impulses that have dematerialized our sense of space through history: fear and wonder; a yearning for the infinite and the intimate; and the need for autonomy and for belonging. Using rich illustrations and examinations of art, technology, and philosophy, Bardt argues that if we can get back to first feeling space, then we can treat space as the substance that gives agency to our intersubjectivity - our exchange of conscious and unconscious thoughts." -- Adapted from publisher's description.
