Summary

Antonia Schirgi’s monograph offers an in-depth analysis of distanced encounters, linking the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty with current social developments. Her precise and well-founded examination of original texts and her critical reflection on translation issues make the work particularly valuable for readers with a sociological or philosophical background. However, due to its theoretical density and complex subject matter, the book is more suitable for advanced readers than for beginners.
