| book description |

The long Path to Nearness takes its place among the recent interdisciplinary work being done at the intersection of philosophy and communication studies. Bringing together Reichian psychoanalysts, the utopian Marxism of Ernst Bloch, and a rigorous phenomenology of communication following Heidegger and Merleau- Ponty, Ramsey argues that studies of corporeality are a necessary component of a philosophy of communicative praxis directed toward ethical concerns.Ramsey's work, which includes a detailed description of communicative praxis in a world whose destiny is determined by technology, offers an original response to this situation by developing an ethics of relief.
