It is a small set of essays written by the French philosopher when relating the phenomenon of suffering from sharing the encounter with the other as a therapeutic form.</p> Claudinei Aparecido de Freitas da Silva Copyright (c) 2023 MEDICA REVIEW.

I consider that in this circuit of reversibility in which the others are a constitutive part of ourselves, the perception of the motor style is what gives rise to intersubjective exchanges, being this kinesthetic and intercorporeal primary pairing the origin of joint action and, thus, of any community bond. From the description that Merleau-Ponty makes of this dynamic of involvement of my body with the environment, the surrounding world is a constitutive part of that exchange, determining specific ways of doing and moving together.</p> Jesica Estefanía Buffone Copyright (c) 2023 MEDICA REVIEW.

In its dual active and passive dimensions, the notion of <em>habit</em> enables to understand the living body as a body proper and, at the same time, as an appropriated body. The habit is the fundamental biopolitical dispositive by which the living body is appropriated and subjected to the Body Politic and its logic, made explicit in Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of <em>habitus</em>.</p> Martin Grassi Copyright (c) 2023 MEDICA REVIEW.

We live in a turbulent world where illness, suffering, pain, and sadness are frequent aspects of most human beings, regardless of their socioeconomic status, religion, race, or educational level. At the same time, we are being inundated by harmful food products that contribute to the prolongation of many chronic diseases. There is an existential vacuum that leads to seek the satisfaction of cravings and find pleasure in what only generates more illness, suffering and death. We can search for inner peace, happiness, love and health, if we are really convinced of a change.</p> Fernando Yaacov Peña Moyano, Manuela Bonnett Tobón Copyright (c) 2023 https://journals.eagora.org/revMEDICA/article/view/5075 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0200 Entrevista a Simeão Sass.
