- Title
Body and nature: Quest for somatic values, East and West.
- Abstract
This article is informed by autobiography and embodied research. It views somatic values through lenses of philosophy both East and West, particularly eco-phenomenology, virtue ethics and Zen Buddhism. Nature, as embodied, is the theme, a current imperative of phenomenology and a growing ecological concern in somatic studies. The text conceives intrinsic (experiential) values of somatic processes relative to body and nature. As a somatic practice for the reader to do, it scripts a Dance Map on neutral attention, or suchness in nature, which positions nature as a subjective ideal or virtue in somatic contexts. Photographs and dance/music videos illustrate the article.
