The book *Gestures* (1991) by philosopher and media theorist Vilém Flusser (1920–1991) is dedicated to the phenomenology of specific actions—speaking, writing, crafting, loving, destroying, and so on. These actions, or gestures, constitute our active, everyday being-in-the-world, and behind their analysis, one can discern the silhouette of the phenomenologist himself as he lives his life. Flusser brings philosophy back down to earth: daily life and the mundane require a philosophical infusion; once imbued with this, they reveal to us the horizons of history, culture, politics, religion, and science. Throughout the work, the author focuses on the bodily gesture—a concrete movement imbued with meaning that expresses human freedom.
