Some fundamental aspects of the lived body only become evident when
it breaks down through illness, weakness or pain. From a
phenomenological point of view, various breakdowns are worth
analyzing for their own sake, and discussing them also opens up
overlooked dimensions of our bodily constitution. This book brings
together different approaches that shed light on the phenomenology
of the lived body-its normality and abnormality, health and
sickness, its activity as well as its passivity. The contributors
integrate phenomenological insights with discussions about bodily
brokenness in philosophy, theology, medical science and literary
theory. Phenomenology of the Broken Body demonstrates how the
broken body sheds fresh light on the nuances of embodied experience
in ordinary life and ultimately questions phenomenology's
preunderstanding of the body.
