Postphenomenological Re-embodiment

The phenomenological tradition has had a long interest in embodiment, and bodily experience beyond the confines of the "skinbag" body. Here I respond to Helena De Preester's analysis of different types of protheses: limb, perceptual, cognitive. In her paper "Technology and the body: the (im)possibilities of re-embodiment", she wants to make finer distinctions between extensions and incorporations. Today's hi-tech developments make this refinement necessary and possible. I respond to the three levels or types of prostheses taking note of the increasing difficulty at each level and express certain worries about cognitively framed notions of bodily experience.
