Document Summary
The way we think of the body impacts how we think of human beings. We want to take care of ourselves- this is universal. The central categories of human existence: space, time. Both space and time can be connected together. Essential to how we understand our lives/life. We operate within an enforced view of these two: death, language. We find things out about each other and about ourselves by speaking: sight (or gaze). Gaze - different than just having your eyes ipen. Means we all have a perspective on the things that we see in our lives. Gaze is the way we strive to see things. We like to think our gaze is truthful. A biomedicine gaze has defines the way we see the world. The gaze in medicine connects the human body and gaze so it can protect it/keep it safe and secure. Attacks what threatens our bodies= protect our lives from our bodies.
