For some time the renowned view of the strict Rhine/Danube division between phenomenology and analytic philosophy has been witnessing a form of liberalization. Indeed, from embodiment-oriented critical turning points onwards, analytic philosophy merged into a more inclusive trend of scientific philosophy (Leitgeb 2013), encompassing mathematical, computational, and experimental methods, while traditional phenomenology experiences across-the-board post-phenomenological reflections, focusing on human/machine relations and technological mediation. Although the relationship between phenomenology and analytic philosophy has been quite an explored issue, the overall bearing of embodiment on contemporary philosophy needs an appropriate meta-philosophical assessment. This issue of Azimuth aims to fill this gap, fostering reflection on embodiment from a meta-philosophical point of view. All the more, this endeavour is compelling for the topic of embodiment steeply increases in complexity and diversification. Touching on relevant debated subjects, such as those of personal identity, gender theory, social theory, and neurosciences – to mention only some, embodiment stimulates discussions among scholars from different philosophical orientations.
