The body has often been neglected in favour of the mind by philosophers. But interest is growing in the philosophical consequences of human embodiedness. This timely collection brings together new discussions of the body from seven leading contributors with a wide variety of philosophical outlooks. The papers deal with the role of the body in the concept of the self, in perceptions, intention and action, in Artificial Intelligence, in thinking about sex and gender, and in psychoanalytical thinking. There are also discussions of treatment of the body in the pioneering works of the phenomenologist Maurice Merleau–Ponty and the American Philosopher Samual Todes. The authors are Quassim Cassam, Max de Gaynesford, Alison Adam, Sean Kelly, Hubert Dreyfus, Iris Marion Young and the former England cricket captain, Michael Brearley, now a practising psychotherapist.
