Summary
In the previous chapter, Stanghellini argues for the necessity of distinguishing between the living and the lived body. Stanghellini's approach seems intended in a functional way to recognize a dimensional field for distinguishing the psychopathology of corporeality in certain mental disorders, mainly a borderline personality disorder. This foregrounding of the living body and the recognition of its double face is long overdue in the phenomenology of corporeality since it acknowledges the Abgrund from which consciousness arises as embodiment.
