Publisher's Description
Three Touches is a book written at the edge of philosophy, faith, and poetry. It does not offer a program or a doctrine. Instead, it records a gradual loosening: of certainty, of intellectual mastery, of the need to stand above what is. The book unfolds in three movements. The first, “Phaedrus 2.0,” is a philosophical play that reopens the ancient question—What is This?—by letting the voices of philosophy speak, clash, and falter. The second, “Soft Words and Dry Thoughts,” consists of short prose texts that move between everyday experience and philosophical reflection, testing what happens when attention replaces explanation. The third, “When Leaving the Palace,” is a cycle of poems that turns from thinking toward praise—toward a form of consent to what cannot be mastered. Three Touches is written for readers who remain faithful to thought but are weary of its sovereignty; for those who suspect that clarity alone is not enough yet refuse to abandon seriousness.

“A short play, spirited aphorisms, sketches of daily modern life, candid poetry—this book is many genres all paying careful attention to the dialectic between experience and our reflection upon it. In other words, it is wisdom culled from the fleeting encounters in one person’s life, imaginatively crafted and creatively displayed. As Winslow mines his thoughts to reinvent what philosophy may be for a new era, I welcome his rejuvenation of what writing can be: a feast for the reader and a joy to behold.”
“A fortuitously recorded dialogue from the Dead Philosophers Club ushers us into the perils and sometimes poignant openings of our post-modern identities, and finally back into the memories and lost depths of our nearest relations with those who love and are loved. A moving journey that deserves to be widely read.”
