Product Description
What is the body? Is it a natural object? An idea? A word? The Body for Beginners addresses these and other questions by examining different aspects of the body in a variety of cultural situations. It argues that in recent years the body ahs been radically re-thought by both science and philosophy. Science has shown that it can be disassembled and restructured. Philosophy has challenged the traditional superiority of the mind over the body be stressing that corporeality is central to our experience and knowledge of the world.
