The body plays a central role in shaping our experience of the world. Why, then, are we so frequently oblivious to our own bodies? We gaze at the world, but rarely see our own eyes. We may be unable to explain how we perform the simplest of acts. We are even less aware of our internal organs and the physiological processes that keep us alive. In this fascinating work, Drew Leder examines all the ways in which the body is "absent"--forgotten, alien, uncontrollable, obscured.
In part 1, Leder explores a wide range of bodily functions with an eye to structures of concealment and alienation. He discusses not only perception and movement, skills and tools, but a variety of "bodies" that philosophers tend to overlook: the inner body with its anonymous rhythms; the sleeping body into which we nightly lapse; the prenatal body from which we first came to be. Leder thereby seeks to challenge "primacy of perception." In part 2, Leder shows how this phenomenology allows us to rethink traditional concepts of mind and body. Leder argues that Cartesian dualism exhibits an abiding power because it draws upon life-world experiences. Descartes' corpus is filled with disruptive bodies which can only be subdued by exercising "disembodied" reason. Leder explores the origins of this notion of reason as disembodied, focusing upon the hidden corporeality of language and thought. In a final chapter, Leder then proposes a new ethic of embodiment to carry us beyond Cartesianism.
This original, important, and accessible work uses examples from the author's medical training throughout. It will interest all those concerned with phenomenology, the philosophy of mind, or the Cartesian tradition; those working in the health care professions; and all those fascinated by the human body.

这本书的结构设计堪称精妙的建筑艺术。它不是线性的叙事,更像是多维度的空间交织。章节之间经常出现时间上的跳跃,有时甚至会引用一些看似无关的片段,比如信件的残页,或是日记中的只言片语。起初,我有点被这种跳跃搞得晕头转向,感觉像是在一个迷宫里行走,找不到出口。但随着我坚持读下去,我开始领悟到作者的用意——他正在用这种破碎的、非线性的结构,来模拟记忆本身的运作方式。我们的记忆往往不是完整的,而是由碎片化的、充满情感色彩的瞬间构成的。这本书完美地复刻了这种内在的真实感。最终,所有的碎片似乎都在某个临界点上轻轻碰撞,形成了一个完整的,但又充满张力的画面。这种结构上的大胆创新,让阅读不再是被动接受信息,而是一个主动构建意义的考古过程,非常适合那些喜欢深度思考和结构分析的读者。
评分这部作品最让我震撼的,是它对人物内心深处矛盾性的揭示。那些角色,没有一个是扁平化的符号,他们都活生生地带着人性的弱点和难以言喻的灰色地带。特别是主角,他身上那种强烈的自我怀疑和外在的坚韧伪装之间的巨大反差,处理得极其微妙。作者没有给予我们一个清晰的道德标尺去衡量他,而是将所有的判断权交给了读者。你会在某个瞬间为他的选择感到不齿,但下一秒,你又会因为他遭遇的困境而深感同情,甚至产生强烈的代入感。这种游走在爱与恨、理解与谴责之间的阅读体验,是极其耗费心神的,但也正是这种拉扯感,让角色的塑造达到了极高的深度。我常常在想,如果我处在他那个情境下,是否会做出同样的选择?这种对自我道德边界的不断拷问,使得这本书的阅读过程,变成了一场深刻的自我剖析之旅。
评分这本书的封面设计简直是视觉上的盛宴,那种深沉的、近乎墨水的蓝色调,配上烫金的细致字体,立刻就让人感受到一种古典而又神秘的气息。我是在一家老旧的书店里偶然瞥见它的,光是拿在手里的那种厚重感和纸张散发出的淡淡的陈年气味,就足以把我拉入那个故事的世界。虽然我还没有完全读完,但光是前几章对环境的细腻描摹,就让人叹为观止。作者对于光影的运用,简直像是在用画笔而非文字进行创作。比如,他对一个被遗忘的阁楼的描写,那种空气中悬浮的尘埃颗粒在斜射进来的光束中跳舞的景象,我仿佛都能闻到那股霉味和干燥的木头香。这种对细节的极致追求,使得每一个场景都拥有了鲜活的生命力,让人忍不住想要停下来,反复咀嚼那些精妙的措辞。它不仅仅是讲述一个故事,更像是在邀请你成为这个世界的一部分,去亲身感受那份独特的氛围。我尤其喜欢作者在叙事节奏上的掌控,它不是那种一泻千里的快节奏,而是沉稳、缓慢地铺陈,像是在解开一个复杂而精美的丝线团,每抽出一丝,都能看到新的花纹浮现。
评分从文学角度来看,作者的语言功力简直达到了出神入化的地步,尤其是他对象征手法的运用,含蓄而又深远。这本书似乎探讨了“缺失”这一主题,但它从不直白地陈述“缺失”的含义,而是通过反复出现的意象来构建意义。我注意到“空椅子”、“未完成的画像”以及“潮汐的退去”这些元素在文本中反复出现,它们的功能远超于单纯的场景点缀。这些意象仿佛是某种情感的凝固点,每一次的重现都带着新的重量和解读空间。我感觉这本书需要被反复阅读,因为初读时,你可能只看到了表层的叙事,但随着时间推移和心境变化,那些隐藏在文字背后的哲学意味才会慢慢浮现。它不像快餐文学那样即时满足,更像是一坛需要时间去陈酿的美酒,每一次品尝都会有新的风味被唤醒。我甚至开始在自己的日常生活中寻找与之对应的影子,思考这些象征是如何在我们日常经验中构建意义的。
评分我得说,这本书的叙事视角切换得非常高明,它没有固守单一的主角思维,而是像一个全知的、却又带着明显偏好的观察者,在不同人物的意识流之间游走。这种处理方式,极大地增强了故事的层次感和复杂性。比如,当A人物沉浸在对过去事件的懊悔中时,视角会突然切换到B人物,展现出B人物对A的误解和疏离,这种并置的张力,让人在阅读时时刻保持着一种警觉和探究的欲望。我发现自己不止一次地停下来,试图在脑海中重构事件的真正脉络,因为作者巧妙地埋藏了大量的“不可靠叙事者”元素。很多时候,你以为你已经抓住了真相,但接下来的几页又会彻底颠覆你的认知。这种智力上的挑战性,正是让我欲罢不能的原因。它要求读者必须全程投入,不能有丝毫的松懈,否则很容易就会错过那些细微的暗示,最终导致对核心情节的误判。这种“作者与读者之间的心照不宣的博弈”,是这本书最引人入胜的魅力所在。
评分哲学&心理学结合。意识的视觉化。太帮助我了!
评分呼吸:主体与客体的融合
评分Despite the worthless last chapter, Leder has succeeded in introducing a variety of technical terms into formulating our corporeal states and how the experiential structure of the body--that is, absence--serves as the foundation of Cartesianism. Also, the body as a medium: any medium is most effective when it disappears in mediation.
