{"product_id":"body-consciousness-richard-shusterman-9780521858908","title":"Body Consciousness","description":"Contemporary culture increasingly suffers from problems of attention, over-stimulation, and stress, and a variety of personal and social discontents generated by deceptive body images. This book argues that improved body consciousness can relieve these problems and enhance one's knowledge, performance, and pleasure. The body is our basic medium of perception and action, but focused attention to its feelings and movements has long been criticized as a damaging distraction that also ethically corrupts through self-absorption. In Body Consciousness, Richard Shusterman refutes such charges by engaging the most influential twentieth-century somatic philosophers and incorporating insights from both Western and Asian disciplines of body-mind awareness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Shusterman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521858909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521858908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.27w x 0.81d","brand":"Richard Shusterman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119847665919,"sku":"9780521858908","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9186849-cde4-4bc3-a703-e2da871ad836.jpg?v=1687411251","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/body-consciousness-richard-shusterman-9780521858908","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
