Have you read David Abram's The Spell of the Sensuous?
There's a bit of a review here. I read the book, got my head going and then loaned it out and like an ayahuasca ritual, found it hard to keep the concepts grounded but basically, the book argued that the disconnect created by our arbitrary separation of observer/observed has cut us off from a rich world of communication and connection that has harmed us in innumerable ways.
