Our Bodies Are Selves

Science & Faith

“In one way or another, most of us work to figure out life. Meaning is complex and often elusive. We are especially challenged when facing the uncertainties of personal illness and decline. This text helps show us the way. A new paradigm, "bodyself," forcefully challenges the old mind-body dualism of the venerable Descartes and some now antiquated views of medical practice. Hefner and Pederson's perspective . . . is compelling, with a reasoned approach that draws the reader in.”
