26 reflections on nude images from the history of Western art including Rembrandt, Goya, David Hockney and Nan Golden. The authors, both philosophers, develop an approach to the nude that involves shedding preconceived concepts and exposing ourselves to the fleeting sense that passes over the surface of the nude's skin and over the surface of the image.
