Introduction

Sartre on the body

Katherine J. Morris

pp. 1-22

Abstract

Human bodies are not simply anatomical, physiological or physical objects. They are our very being-there in the world and that by which there is a world for us; they are that by which we act and express and that in which we feel; they are that which sediments the past and projects toward the future; they are that on whose surface power is inscribed and that by whose powers such power is "incorporated'; they are natural symbols, as well as the existential ground of culture.
