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.

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.
