This book is a reflection, commentary, and further development of the research on Edmund Husserl's kinaesthesis. It not only highlights explicit kinaesthetic lines of Husserl's thought such as in Thing and Space or Ideas II but also ties together less explored lines of Husserl's work. In such a way, kinaesthesis is explored not only in view of perception, but also in relation to imagination, memory, phantasy, and empathy as well as the corporeal and egotic. Karoblis argues that, according to Husserl, kinaesthesis differs from proprioception not just as another kind of sensation, but as an egotic element (rather than hyletic) of the self.

It is remarkable that the phenomenological tradition always treated Husserl's concept of kinesthesis instrumentally and as a secondary subject, and extremely rarely - as an autonomous topic and a primary subject. This text fills the lacunae and also describes kinaesthesis as a practical guide of sorts, following late texts of Husserl. It appeals to scholars in the field of phenomenology, and in particular to those interested in Husserl's legacy, yet also to the experts of corporeal practices such as sport and dance; theatre and music.
