Full Description
This book is the first to explore Argentine tango as both a philosophical practice and a metaphor for human existence. Written by an Argentine professional dancer and academic philosopher, it bridges embodied experience and intellectual inquiry to propose a transformative "philo-tango" approach. Drawing on classical philosophy, existentialism, and contemporary therapeutic movements, the book argues that tango's five loves—of music, self, partner, floor, and community—offer a kinesthetic path to virtue ethics and personal growth. Through lyrical analysis, case studies, and philosophical reflection. Carone show how tango can heal, connect, and inspire, making it not just a dance but a way of life. This groundbreaking work will appeal to scholars in philosophy, dance studies, and ethics, as well as practitioners of tango and philosophical counseling.
