Abstract
Rehabilitation and palliative care are increasingly playing a major role in medicine, surgery, nursing, physiotherapy and related professions. We believe that the same value should still characterize observation and palpation. Accordingly, the gains in the Medical Humanities from the analysis of themes related to the touching/touched experience are documented here and the features of two outstanding works (Borges’s Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius and Derrida’s Le Toucher) are called into question. We will try to explore the meaning of the senses as well as the sensibilia as natural kinds of clinical phenomenology, thereupon the intelligibility and the supremacy of corporeality, contact, touching and haptic perception are stressed.
