{"product_id":"9781913348557","title":"Immortal Gestures : Journeys in the Unspoken","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is an old Buddhist adage: the teachings are like a finger pointing to the moon. To achieve enlightenment, you are not supposed to look at the finger. You are supposed to look to the celestial light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI am asking you to look at the finger. The finger is also the moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA tilted head. A finger to the lips. A wave that could mean emphasis or dismissal. A raised palm of piety and fellowship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur gestures do not simply point to our thoughts, they are our thoughts made flesh. They can be instinctive, intuitive, or calculated — or all three. They exist in the briefest moment and through history, in a gently turned wrist and across whole nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur gestures drag stories with them, whether they mean to or not. They are invitations to think about how our worlds are larger than they seem — how we are much larger than we seem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJoin award-winning philosopher Damon Young — author of The Art of Reading and Philosophy in the Garden — as he sheds light on thirteen curious gestures. Drawing equally from classical poetry and science fiction, heavy metal and ballet, Young illuminates our varied humanity from prehistory to today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scribe Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52905585017141,"sku":"EB_PH0400_J08-04_DUBAI","price":78.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9781913348557-1.jpg?v=1789409432","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/ar\/products\/9781913348557","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
