Preface to the English Edition -- Introduction -- The Time of Life -- Eastern Teachings -- The Way of Breath -- Being I, Being We -- The Family Begins With Two -- Approaching the Other As Other -- Mixing: A Principle for Refounding Community.
Review: "A leading philosopher steeped in the Western tradition here thinks through ancient Eastern disciplines, meditating on what it means to learn to breathe, and urging us all at the dawn of a new century to rediscover indigenous Asian cultures." "Luce Irigaray's focus on breath in this book is a natural outgrowth of the attention that she has given in previous books to the elements - air, water, and fire. By returning to fundamental human experiences - breathing and sexual difference - she finds a way out of the endless sociologizing abstractions of much contemporary thought to rethink questions of race, ethnicity, and globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
