The book, published by Oxford University Press, is the first in-depth study of the unexpected connections existing between the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) and the Slovene poet Srečko Kosovel (1904–1926) in the wider context of the early-twentieth-century European and Indian intercultural relations. Author’s conclusions mark an important intervention in postcolonial and cultural studies by highlighting a neglected strain of early-twentieth century universalist discourse that is not imperialistic or hegemonic, but rather open-ended and based on empathy with the 'other'. Not only does the study contribute to a more complex understanding of Tagore’s overall European reception, it also offers a fresh and original approach to reading one of Slovenia’s most renowned poets, marking a significant addition to the state of the art within Slovene academic establishment.

The monograph in the broader context addresses the issue of the cosmology of sensibility and hospitality, which stems from theological ethics of ecofeminism. In a narrower context, issues of alienation of human from nature and prejudices attached along the Cartesian dualist paradigm: body / spirit, female / male; nature / culture, are analized. Within the paradigmatic and hermeneutical key of theological ecofeminism, the issue of transformation of patriarchal unilateral man-centered images of God as immanent and separated from world, is also discussed. It presents a conceptual femininity of Goddess and the necessity of transformation of symbolic descriptions of God in Western culture. In this segment the monograph presents the cosmology of hospitality in the light of interconnectedness and interdependence of all people and nature in the web of life, and highlights the criticism of men-centered theological paradigm and the consequent loss of compassion.

The book was coedited by two members of the project team (project leader Lenart Škof and member Carool Kersten). Exploring the relations between the concepts of peace and violence with aesthetics, nature, the body, and environmental issues, The Poesis of Peace applies a multidisciplinary approach to case studies in both Western and non-Western contexts including Islam, Chinese philosophy, Buddhist and Hindu traditions. Established and renowned theologians and philosophers, such as Kevin Hart, Eduardo Mendieta, and Clemens Sedmak, as well as upcoming and talented young academics look at peace and non-violence through the lens of recent scholarly advances on the subject achieved in the fields of theology, philosophy, political theory, and environmentalism. The book is a result of the conference "The Poesis of Peace" (2014) and thus one of the key project results.
In this paper we outline the possibility of an ethics of Luce Irigaray, based on our bodily awareness of breath/ing in the ethical spaces between-two. We then present two Irigarayan concepts – silence and listening. Silence is the original place in our bodies and selves, reserved for the welcome of the other; listening is our awareness and respect of the other person in its sexual, cultural, or other difference(s). We wind up this paper with an original proposal for an ethic of care, based on our shared becoming through the hospitality toward the other.
