Vol. 4 (2023)

Corporeality is a fundamental dimension of human experience, a site of exposure, vulnerability, and relation. The body is not merely a biological datum, but a nexus of meaning in which identity, social practices, ethical norms, power relations, and technological transformations intersect.

The fourth volume of Etica-mente. L’annuario is devoted to a philosophical investigation of corporeality from ethical, political, and social perspectives. The collected contributions examine the body as lived experience, as a terrain of symbolic and normative conflict, as an object of legal regulation, and as a key locus of the challenges posed by contemporary technology and medicine.

Through different theoretical approaches, the issue addresses themes such as bodily vulnerability, care, embodiment, the normativity of bodies, and practices of control and emancipation, highlighting corporeality as a crucial lens for understanding contemporary transformations of the human condition.

The volume aims to contribute to a critical reflection on corporeality, emphasizing its central role in the redefinition of subjectivity, responsibility, and shared life.
