The Human Image in Helmuth Plessner, Pierre Bourdieu, and Psychocentric Culture

In this book, a synthesis of philosophical anthropology in Plessner and Bourdieu is employed to critique scientific reductionism in psychiatry and to replace a disembodied medicalized image of humans with a constructive image of being human in communication.

Isaac E. Catt is visiting scholar in philosophy of communication at Duquesne University.
