the work of zur Lippe "is difficult to place between conceptual history and art history on the one hand and historical psychology on the other"
"In his doctoral disseration under Theodor Adorno he examined the geometrization of space in the seventeenth century as expressed in new body disciplines: a new art of fencing and military drill, and a new dance.

"space was deprived of its reality perceivable through nose, ear, and touch and was assigned a new, geometrical disciplining function"
