"Drew Leder has written extensively on the philosophy of the body, using a phenomenological approach influenced by Merleau-Ponty and other 20th century Continental philosophers. Leder's work in this area has often focused on bodily experience in health and illness, and the way in which medical interventions interpret and transform our relation to the body. He is critical of the Cartesian mind-body dualism and scientism that underlies much of contemporary Western medicine, and proposes a more holistic, yet rigorous, alternative." |
