{"product_id":"the-body-and-embodiment-frank-chouraqui-9781786609755","title":"The Body and Embodiment: A Philosophical Guide","description":"Perfect for use at advanced undergraduate and graduate level, this is the first text to offer students a unified narrative regarding the place of the body in Western thinking. The book investigates the ways in which the fact of human embodiment makes the notion of ambiguity central to all major areas of philosophy. The body is both active and passive, powerful and vulnerable, and it provides both access through perception and limitation through localisation. As such, it fundamentally informs ontological, political, ethical and epistemological issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book takes as its starting point the devaluation of the body by philosophers from Plato to Descartes and then focuses on several dimensions of the body as investigated by post-Kantian philosophy through a discussion of the intentional body, embodied cognition and the politicization of the body. The book engages with both the 'Continental' and 'Anglo-American' philosophical traditions and includes a broad range of sources and texts. The unified approach and clear writing make this lively text accessible to those working in other disciplines such as Anthropology, Cultural Studies and Gender Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Chouraqui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786609754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786609755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Frank Chouraqui","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993597968639,"sku":"9781786609755","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c77b79c-9c98-4dc4-9274-f2a383c928c8.jpg?v=1683325229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-body-and-embodiment-frank-chouraqui-9781786609755","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
