Il corpo (proprio) rappresentato

The text outlines a (new)phenomenological theory of the lived or felt body’s constitutive and holistic (pre-reflective) involvement in human experience. Again a view of the (material) human body that is the result of a long historical and intellectualistic process of reductionist and introjectionist objectification of the lived experience, we can say that the lived body is a feeling proper-body: by means of its feelings, quite specific dynamics (between expansion and contraction, absolute location of subjective orientation in a predimensional, surfaceless space) and corporeal “islands”, he feels what belongs to ourselves also in the vicinity (i.e. emotional atmospheres) without drawing on the five senses and the perceptual body schema. So we have an acquaintanceship with ourselves, a lived self-consciousness, and regain a sensibility for the nuanced realities of lived and spontaneous experience as well as for an ethics of corporeal existence.
