At the dawn of the modern era, philosophers reinterpreted their
subject as the study of consciousness, pushing the body to the
margins of philosophy. With the arrival of Husserlian thought in
the late nineteenth century, the body was once again understood to
be part of the transcendental field. And yet, despite the enormous
influence of Husserl's phenomenology, the role of "embodiment" in
the broader philosophical landscape remains largely unresolved. In
his ambitious debut book, "Phenomenology and Embodiment, " Joona
Taipale tackles the Husserlian concept--also engaging the thought
of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Henry--with
a comprehensive and systematic phenomenological investigation into
the role of embodiment in the constitution of self-awareness,
intersubjectivity, and objective reality. In doing so, he
contributes a detailed clarification of the fundamental
constitutive role of embodiment in the basic relations of
subjectivity.
