ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The question this text raises is how do we think about the bodies that bleed, \u201cwe\u201d being in particular those whose bodies bleed regularly? The question is philosophical in kind, as it tests our capacities to think about such bodies. Philosophy as a corpus has had little to say about menstruating bodies, which curiously also applies to feminist philosophy. Since these bodies do exist and we need to think of them in some way \u2013 not only for the sake of thinking, but also in order to apply legal measures in an equitable way \u2013 the text proposes the following: to see how bodies were framed in philosophical thought, departing from the notion of a bodiless body as the central paradigm in conceptualizing the philosophical subject, to make room for greater pluralism, and a fortiori, equality in thinking about human embodiment. The key claim is that it is bleeding that stands firmly in the way of conceptualizing bodies as bodiless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
