Feeling-Thinking

The concept of feeling-thinking (sentipensar) was created by sociologist Orlando Fals-Borda to describe a way of living in which the heart and the mind jointly construct the relationship with the world. For the anthropologist Arturo Escobar, this concept allows to overcome the binary separations between feeling and thinking, body and mind, that forge the regimes of modernity and coloniality. Feeling-thinking outlines other ways of making the world, “the contours of a pluriverse to severally inhabit”.
