| Abstract | What is “the corporeal turn”? According to Maxine SheetsJohnstone, it is a broad interdisciplinary development concerning questions, concepts, and relationships that derive from and center on the body and bodily life. Not only does the term make implicit reference to the well-known “linguistic turn” of the first half of the 20 th century, but it similarly connotes quite adequately a feel of retrieving. SheetsJohnstone’s works represent a desire to uncover a more original understanding of and enquiry into life. One of the most praiseworthy features of her 30 years-long philosophical enterprise is its consistent obsession with constructing new perspectives on these issues rather than being involved with the topics as they stand. Consequently, the interdisciplinary reader The Corporeal Turn and her recent articles alike are truly works of a philosopher: they explore before giving answers. Unfortunately, this kind of writing has its downsides, since it often cannot provide readymade methods or answers that can be taken over by others. |
