"The phenomenology of Embodied Subjectivity, displays the richness that phenomenological approaches to embodiment have to offer, both in terms of the many insights of some of its major figures and as a style of inquiry that continues to be aptly deployed in diverse theoretical contexts. As such, the collection is accessible to a broad audience. ... is well worth a read for those pursuing research on the topic." (Matt Bower, Husserl Studies, Vol. 31, 2015)
