Familiar and strange, weak and powerful, the body holds both a blind and central place in the history of philosophy. Chantal Jaquet has undertaken to question this history and the contemporary issues opened up in her time by Spinoza. It was in Japan that she reopened this questioning from the sense of smell, despised and misunderstood. It ties together a reflection mobilizing philosophy and human sciences which distills thoughts and fragrances, being interested as much in artistic achievements as in a kind of art of living and thinking: the philosophy of smell.
“My work on the body and the sensitive respects this materialist approach – the mind can only do what the body can – present without exception in Spinoza’s thought, which reflection on smell brings to its climax. (Chantal Jaquet)
