B.A., Liberal Arts, Bennington College, 2007 M.A., Philosophy, University of New Mexico, 2011 Ph.D., Philosophy, University of New Mexico, 2018 ABSTRACT In this dissertation I hope to shed further light on Heidegger’s thought-provoking claim that “We do not “have” a body; rather, we “are” bodily.”1 After discussing the problem of the body in the context of Being and Time in chapters one and two, I move to Heidegger’s later lectures and seminars in chapter three to articulate a specifically Heideggerian account of the bodying of the body.
