The Lived Human Body from the Perspective of the Shared World (Mitwelt (original) (raw)

The lived body ( Leib ) in the phenomenological tradition tends to be thought as the living body of the acting and perceiving subject, which is then analyzed by way of subjective self-refl ection. This is true for Husserl (1970) as well as for and . When, however, the lived body is made the starting point of analysis in this way, it becomes a general and thus transhistorical condition of experience, and it is only in a second step that social relations and historical formation can be inscribed into it.
