In Nietzsche and Embodiment Kristen Brown reveals the smartness of bodies, challenging the traditional view in the West that bodies are separate from and morally inferior to minds. Drawing inspiration from Nietzsche, Brown vividly describes why the interdependence of mind and body matters, both in Nietzsche's writings and for contemporary debates (non-dualism theory, Merleau-Ponty criticism, and metaphor studies), activities (spinal cord research and fasting), and specific human experiences (menses, trauma, and guilt). Brown's theories about the dynamic relationship between body and mind provide new possibilities for self-understanding and experience.

project such as this comes about through the support of many people A along the way. There are a few to whom I would like to express special thanks: to Michael Galchinsky, Anne MacMaster, Lisa Sigel, and Steve Smith for their helpful comments on certain draft chapters; to David Garcia, John Thata-manil, and Nona Olivia for their friendship, and comments on versions of the manuscript; and to Nona and her sons, Jasper Segal and Scott Vickers, for open-ing their home to me; a similar thanks to Idit Dobbs-Weinstein and Sophia Dobbs. Finally, thank you to the Brown, Garcia, and Golden families, and espe-cially Bruce and Chelsea, whose nurturance helped make this possible. An earlier version of chapter 2 appeared as “Possible and Questionable: Opening Nietzsche’s Genealogy to Feminine Body” inHypatiavolume 14 number 3, 1999.
