The human body is not simply a physical, anatomical, or
physiological object; in an important sense we are our bodies. In
this collection, Sartre scholars and others engage with the French
philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre's brilliant but neglected descriptions
of our experience of human bodies. The authors bring a wide variety
of perspectives to bear on Sartre's thinking about the body, and,
alongside in-depth scholarly historical and critical
investigations, bring him into dialogue with feminists,
sociologists, psychologists and historians, addressing such
questions as: Why have philosophers found it so difficult to
conceptualize the relationship between consciousness and the body?
Do men and women experience their own bodies in fundamentally
different ways? What is pain? What is sexual desire? What is it
like to live as a racially marked body in a racist society? How do
society and culture shape our bodies, and can we re-shape them?
