Document Summary
Jan 28 postmodernism and sport: the article says that when all you do is narrow down your research, we neglect the personal and psychological needs of the person under research. Where does our mind end and brain begin: rene descartes said i am a mind and i have a body. He said the mind has a body, not the body has a mind. Objective body: the objective body is something without context (ex. We just need to know where the injury is on the body. We don"t care if you are an mls star or not. However, an mls player and a campus rec player would have different athletic therapists. ) It is reductionist not holistic: a lived body is a rich tapestry of experiences. A lived experience includes the medical, social and personality component: to take a dualistic approach, we need to treat situations as lived experiences not objective ones.
