Each person is a combination of a genetically inherited body and a body formed by experience and desire. Keleman will introduce the concepts and methods that help form a life of meaning and satisfaction. They display what is seeking to come into existence in the awake world of daily living. By evoking personal images, stories, and dreams and using formative methods, we will seek to form the shapes of our adult. Tuition includes Saturday lunch.
First section is prerequisite and enrollment is limited.
In contemporary philosophy, consciousness is treated as a mental event located inside the cranium. Consciousness is always consciousness-of. It arises from our embodiment in the kind of bodies we have and their enmeshment in things as they are for us. Stanley Keleman and Katharine Young propose an alternative understanding in terms of somatic philosophy. To demonstrate this perspective on the body, they will analyze gesture, postures, and movements in videotapes of somatic therapy.
