El arte de vivir

Synopsis of El arte de vivir

«El arte de vivir» is the philosophical essay by Luis Racionero, published by Temas de Hoy in paperback, in Spanish.

Racionero proposes a philosophy of sensuality based on balance and moderation: keeping the body and mind finely tuned in order to cultivate the pleasure of the senses. Each sense corresponds to an art: gastronomy to taste, sex to touch, and eroticism to all five as a whole. The aim is to live well and make life a work of art.

Framed within philosophy and art, the work bears the subtitle «A través de los cinco sentidos» and was published in 1989.

For readers interested in practical philosophy and in the exploration of the senses as a path to a fulfilling life.
