| Abstract: | The body has indeed not been of much concern in traditional western philosophy until relatively recently. Retracing and uncovering this history of the body allows one to see, however, how the body has never truly been absent. Rather, theories critical of such strict dualism have highlighted the social and political consequences of the erasure of the body. While the question concerning technologically augmented bodies is broad and diverse, this thesis aims to establish a conceptual background and follow up with two case studies. The primary aim is to raise awareness about the political nature and importance of the body. |
