Description: Draws on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology to clarify Heidegger's analytic of human beings through an interpretation that focuses on our experience of being embodied. Reconstructs in modern terms the wisdom implicit in western and semetic forms of religion and philosophy, considering the work of Freud, Jung, Foucault, Dewey and Nietzsche.
