Body Image

From body dysmorphia to anxiety and stress, having a poor mindset regarding food and your body can make it hard to live day to day. But what if you didn’t have to live that way? What if you could look in the mirror and actually like what you see, without having to change what your body looks like.

The nature of consciousness and the relationship between the mind and brain have become the most hotly debated topics in philosophy. This book explains and argues for a new approach called enactivism. Enactivism maintains that consciousness and all subjective thoughts and feelings arise from an organism's attempts to use its environment in the service of purposeful action. The authors admit that their perspective presents many problems: How does one distinguish real action from reaction? Is it scientifically acceptable to say that the whole organism can use its parts, instead of being a mere summation of their separate mechanical reactions? What about the danger that this analysis will imply that physical systems fail to be "causally closed"?

In 2020, the UK Government commissioned an inquiry into how negative body image effects people's lives and what factors lead people into having a negative body image.
