This book explores the ways in which the body is sacred in Western medicine, as well as how this idea is played out in questions of life and death, of the autopsy and of the meanings attributed to illnesses and disease. Ritual and religious modifications to, and limitations on what may be done to the body raise cross cultural issues of great complexity – philosophically and theologically, as well as sociologically - within medicine and for health care practitioners, but also, as a matter of primary concern for the patient. The book explores the ways in which medicine organises the moral and the immoral, the sacred and the profane; how it mediates cultural concepts of the sacred – of the body, of blood and of life and death.

Sólo la filosofía puede analizar el cuerpo humano en la perspectiva especial por la cual él es mi cuerpo, tan singular e intransferible como mi propia vida. Lo sorprendente de esta perspectiva en primera persona, que se conoce generalmente como fenomenología, es que ella no encierra a la reflexión en una confidencia perpetua, sino que, muy al contrario, hace posible descripciones adecuadas de la experiencia de todos y de todos los días. De la mano de cinco pensadores españoles, el hecho de andar, de moverme, el acto de acariciar y el fenómeno de la caricia, la individualidad para mí siempre invisible de mi rostro o las relaciones peculiares entre la atención y el dolor, guían en estas páginas la exploración del cuerpo vivido que yo soy, y sugieren cuán lejos estamos de comprender lo que no puede caer más cerca de nuestros propios ojos. De paso se recuperan algunas joyas poco conocidas de la filosofía española del siglo XX.

Relevant to a broad spectrum of medical practitioners and practicing social service workers, the book will also be essential reading in the fields of disability studies, sociology of the body/senses, medical sociology and STS.
