Kant is generally conceived to have offered little attention to the
fact that we experience the world in and through our bodies. This book
argues that this standard image of the great German philosopher is
radically wrong. Not only does Kant - throughout his career and in
works published before and after the Critique of pure reason - reflect
constantly upon the fact that human life is embodied, but the Critique
of pure reason itself may be read as a critical reflection aimed at
exploring some significant philosophical implications of this fact.
Bringing this aspect of Kant's philosophy into focus is important, not
only because it sheds new light on our understanding of Kant's work,
but also because it is relevant to contemporary discussions in
philosophy about embodiment, learning and practice. By taking his
philosophy of embodiment into account, the author makes Kant stand out
as a true contemporary in new and unexpected ways.
