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 одчцл 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 Автор Richard Shusterman.  WilliamИздательство: Cambridge University Press, 2008 г Мягкая обложка, 256 стр ISBN 978-0-521-67587-1 Язык: Английский Формат: 150x230.
