The concept of the body is one of the most recent, and hotly
contested areas of inquiry among philosophers today. This volume
captures the different theoretical approaches at the core of the
current discussion and offers studies that deal with various
aspects of the constitution of the body. It is designed primarily
to be used on upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses, such
as philosophy of the Body, Philosophical Psychology, Gender
Studies, and Contemporary Continental Philosophy, and will also be
useful as a primary source for philosophers seeking a deeper
understanding of the topic.
Attempting to cut a third way between the usual alternatives of
social Constructionist and Naturalist approaches to the body, this
collection turns to both the biological and the social sciences as
a starting point for an adequate critique of the body, before
moving to offer a cultural analysis. The volume blends seminal
essays with the new and original pieces to take the analysis into
new areas, and includes contributions from Judith Butler, Susan
Bordo, Rom Harré, Maxine Sheets-Johnstone, Mary Rawlinson, Hubert
Dreyfus, and Iris Young.
