Críticas

"...this volume is enjoyable to read and provides a positive, thought-provoking and original contribution for health-care professionals and philosophers interested in interrogating and articulating 'topical blindspots' of embodied medical phenomenology. It brings to the forefront many silent suppositions of medical phenomenology that have received little attention, and elucidates the practical relevance of phenomenology in a broader medical context than has hitherto been described." -- Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences

"...this book is a significant and original contribution to both feminist theory and phenomenology. The volume bridges a range of fields of inquiry, filling a gap in the feminist scholarship on medicine while, at the same time, providing theoretical insights that will inform conceptual and practical concerns within biomedicine." -- Hypatia

"...the breadth and uniqueness of topics should interest anyone who works within the fields of philosophy of medicine and medical ethics ... the collection is breaking new ground in a positive way ... bringing a feminist phenomenological lens to the philosophy of medicine makes salient the many ways in which a variety of different kinds of oppressions are manifest within our medical systems and practices. The hope is that practitioners, theorists, and activists in the field read this book, and are moved to not only think in new directions but to act upon their thoughts." -- Bioethics.net

"Though this volume is best suited to those interested in phenomenology, a few articles, particularly Käll's article on Wit, a film used in many bioethics courses, have a more general appeal and would be well worth reading by bioethicists." -- CHOICE
