Thinking That Feels

The thinking that feels is tension – an openness without object, an act of listening and an awaiting of sense. It is a mode of thought that arises from a living encounter with the other, with something or someone who is at once a limit and a threshold.The original search for sense that unfolds in the liminal space of alterity may be the most authentically juridical one, yet it risks being lost in the drift of law reduced to a dehumanized mechanics. By turning to Aesthetics and to the methodology of Law and Humanities, we can learn to perceive and inhabit the limit – making of it an art, so as to once again listen to and speak the law.
