It defines what we call sensibility or sensible life by defining the ontological status of images. It shows that images have an intermediate ontological status and exist in an autonomous sphere. It also explores our interactions with images in dream, fashion and language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"La vita sensibile (2011) is Emanuele Coccia's first book to be translated into English. Rendered as Sensible Life: a micro-ontology of the image, it comes with an insightful prologue by Kevin Attell, and it belongs to the excellent \"Commonalities\" series edited by Timothy Campbell...Sensible Life is not a book about the ontology of the image in the pictorial or phenomenological sense, but an investigation into the metaxy of existence and being in the world.\" -- -Gerardo Munoz Infrapolitical Deconstruction Initiative \"What Emanuele Coccia has done in Sensible Life is to create a path through which I might imagine myself-and all of us-richly obliged in the nature of the image, open to encounters that are not only of the material world, encounters that resonate as a whole that exists between the material, dematerial, psychological, and sociological spaces of things. Through Sensible Life, I partake in both the world I am in and the world I can see, whether in my mind, in my dreams, or on a glass slide. I want to do more with the layers of the world, more with the possibility of things manifested in my work.\" -- -Theaster Gates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI.
