Book Description
"There are books—few and far between—which carefully, delightfully, and genuinely turn your head inside out. This is one of them. It ranges over some central issues in Western philosophy and begins the long overdue job of giving us a radically new account of meaning, rationality, and objectivity."—Yaakov Garb, San Francisco Chronicle

Book Description
The Female Body in Mind introduces new ways of thinking about issues of women's mental health assessment and treatment. Its multidisciplinary approach incorporates social, psychological, biological and philosophical perspectives on the female body. The contributions, from notable academics in the field of women's mental health, examine the relationship between women's bodies, society and culture, demonstrating how the body has become a platform for women's expression of their distress and anguish. The book is divided into six sections, all centred on the theme of the body, covering: The body at risk. The hurting body. The reproductive body. The interactive body. Body-sensitive therapies. The body on my mind. All professionals involved in women's mental health will welcome this exploration of the complexities involved in the relationship between women bodies and their mental health.

Book Description
Widely used in philosophy courses, this succinct study explores the problem of determining the relation between the body and mind. In that philosophy seeks to elucidate man’s place and action in nature, Campbell asserts that our assessment of the body-mind problem affects our perspectives on metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and the natural sciences. After discussing how the body-mind problem developed, Campbell sets forth four incompatible propositions that serve as the framework for evaluating different philosophical approaches to the problem. Among competing perspectives, he examines dualism, behaviorist theories, the causal theory of mind, and central-state epiphenomenalism. This second edition includes a chapter on functionalism and an expanded bibliography.

Book Description
In Body, In Mind tells the story of Sam and Rachel Kane as they transition from successful lifelong careers to lives dominated by declining health, loss, dependence and uncertainty. Rachel, an action-oriented professional athlete, remains defiant in the face of what her advancing age brings, as she attempts to rebuild her sense of self-worth and her faith in God, and to atone for her self-centred and imperfect life. Sam, a cerebral academic psychologist, faces a different set of challenges, and approaches his elder years making choices which see him increasingly isolated and in despair. It takes a final act of great scholarship for him to recover his lost faith in love. Rachel and Sam are surrounded by family and close friends who are also tested by the exigencies of their relationships, their careers and their responsibilities. The story becomes an intertwining of the characters' lives, the ideas that inspire them and terrify them, the events that befall them, and the choices they make as they grow and learn. In Body, In Mind is told against a backdrop dominated by the dichotomies of contemporary life: the country and the city, presence and abandonment, land and sea, black and white, thought and action, vigilance and sacrifice, privilege and disadvantage, fear and grace, fate and freedom, being and becoming, Body and Mind. The story explores how the path we follow through life is largely a chosen one, and how the choices we make construct the person that each of us becomes. It's an Australian story, a story which illustrates the unique nature of our land and our people; it's a modern story told amidst echoes of the past; and ultimately, it's a story of hope, faith, sacrifice, courage and love.

Book Description
Our own body seems to be the object that we know the best for we constantly receive a flow of internal information about it. Yet bodily awareness has attracted little attention in the literature. Mind the Body is the first comprehensive treatment of bodily awareness. Fr�d�rique de Vignemont seeks to answer questions such as: how do I perceive my body? How do I perceive other people's bodies? Can I really feel your pain? What makes me feel this specific body is my own? Why do I care about it? To what extent can I feel an avatar's body as my own? To answer these questions, we need a better understanding of the various aspects of bodily self-awareness, including the spatiality of bodily sensations, their multimodality, their role in social cognition, their relation to action, and to self-defence. This volume combines philosophical analysis with recent experimental results from cognitive science, leading us to question some of our most basic intuitions.

Book Description
Body Mind Balancing: Using Your Mind to Heal Your Body features meditation methods from one of the twentieth century’s greatest spiritual teachers. Many everyday discomforts and tensions arise from the fact that we are alienated from our bodies. With the help of Osho’s Body Mind Balancing, readers will learn to talk to and reconnect with their bodies. After just a short time, readers will begin to appreciate how much the body has been working for them and supporting them, and from this new perspective one can find new ways to work with the body and create a more harmonious balance of body and mind. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.
