“Take My Yoga Upon You” (Matt 11:29)
A Spirit/ual Pli for the Global City
This chapter celebrates the possibilities for life in cosmopolis, that best of all possible visions of human urban sociality. Drawing upon the work of continental philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, it insinuates “Spirit”— that early conceptual hold for bodies strewn by the Roman Empire in what would become the movement of Christianity— as a necessary prosthesis for practicing forbearance and corporeal generosity, the thick muscle of social flesh.
Keywords: Obligation, Jean-Luc Nancy, Gandhi, Generosity, Prosthesis, Spirit
