A hatodik érzékszerv: a mozgatott test
The Sixth Sensory Organ: the Body in Movement

Summary/Abstract: This essay attempts to show the way in which the body in movement may open up the world. The author uses the method of the phenomenological description of bodily experiences such as dance, ping-pong, running, and riding the bicycle. The authenticity of these experiences is vouched for by the first person singular perspective. The experiences described here justify the claim that movement is both a bodily and a spiritual experience, which brings into play and heightens all of the senses, as well as the mind, crossing our activities. At the same time, the text also warns against the danger brought by the fascination of speed. According to this warning, speed has to maintain its relations with the human body, or it will turn into the fascination of the empty space, which can only fool, at most, the human mind.
