Paul Ricoeur and the Lived Body extends the scope of Paul Ricoeur's
reflections and analyses of the body as one's own through
explorations into the ethical, cultural, and affective dimensions
of our corporeal existence. Starting with the fact that each of us
has a place in the world by reason of our mode of incarnation as
flesh, the contributors to this volume address a range of diverse
themes in which the lived body figures. Edited by Roger W. H.
Savage, this book investigates the construction of narrative
identities and the social assignment of gender and race, the
passions and an ethics of respect, affect theory, feeling, the
carnal imagination, and the cultural and social milieu that
comprises the conditions of our embodiment as subjects who have
deeply held convictions and beliefs. By acknowledging that the
lived body is irreducible to an object in the world, the essays in
this volume have a common point: our assurance in acting and
suffering is rooted in the mode of our incarnate existence as
fragile yet capable human beings.
