"The 'Lived' Body" takes a fresh look at the problem of human embodiment through a critical examination of the dualist legacies of the past.

A variety of new areas of research in this rapidly expanding field are also considered, including medical technology and the "fate" of human embodiment, the sociology of emotion, the problem of pain, sleep and dreams, and the relationship between the body, art and society.…mehr
