The warring sides in the EMT debate have forgotten all about affect and sociality; this concluding chapter of Feeling Extended makes the case most strongly and clearly.

My original plan was to build the three topics in this chapter into the book's subtitle: Feeling Extended: Empathy, Ritual, and Face as Extended Body-Becoming-Mind. I decided that was too cumbersome, and shortened the three items to a single "sociality." But I still worry that the subtitle is a bit bland, now.
