Meaning and Embodiment provides a detailed study of Hegel's anthropology to examine the place of corporeity or embodiment in human life, identity, and experience. In Hegel's view, to be human means in part to produce one's own spiritual embodiment in culture and habits. Whereas for animals nature only has meaning relative to biological drives, humans experience meaning in a way that transcends these limits, and which allows for aesthetic appreciation of beauty and sublimity, nihilistic feelings of meaninglessness, and the complex and different systems of symbolic speech and action characterizing language and culture. By elucidating the different forms of embodiment, Nicholas Mowad shows how for Hegel we are embodied in several different ways at once: as extended, subject to physical-chemical forces, living, and human. Many difficult problems in philosophy and everyday experience come down to using the right concept of embodiment. Mowad traces Hegel's account through the growth and development of the body, gender and racial difference, cycles of sleep and waking, and sensibility and mental illness.

"A century after the Bauhaus's founding in 1919, this book reassesses it as more than a highly influential art, architecture, and design school. In myriad ways, emerging ideas about the body in relation to health, movement, gender, and sexuality were at the heart of art and life at the school. Bauhaus Bodies reassesses the work of both well-known Bauhaus members and those who have unjustifiably escaped scholarly scrutiny, its women in particular. In fourteen original, cutting-edge essays by established experts and emerging scholars, this book reveals how Bauhaus artists challenged traditional ideas about bodies and gender. Written to appeal to students, scholars, and the broad public, Bauhaus Bodies will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern art, architecture, design history, and gender studies; it will define conversations and debates during the 2019 centenary of the Bauhaus's founding and beyond."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

La phénoménologie échoue devant la question du corps parce que celui-ci est abordé́ comme une question alors qu'il s'agit d'une réponse, réponse à une question qui demeure implicite et qui n'est autre que celle de l'"appartenance". Ce n'est pas parce que nous avons un corps que nous appartenons au monde mais dans la mesure où nous appartenons au monde que nous avons un corps. De là la nécessité d'une phénoménologie de l'appartenance qui en distingue trois modes - le site, le sol et le lieu - et montre que ce dernier est déployé par un mouvement procédant d'une tension irréductible entre le site de l'étant et son sol ontologique. Cette phénoménologie débouche sur une cosmologie qui met au jour une dynamique originaire au cœur du mouvement phénoménalisant : celle-ci est le sens d'être véritable du sol et renvoie à l'événement d'une déflagration éternelle au-delà de laquelle on ne peut remonter.
