Own Body, Caring, Health, Hyginus, Merleau-PontyAbstract
Our goal is to think about the problem of caring from reflections that relate Hyginus’ Fabulae to the notion of own body in Merleau-Ponty. Based on these reflections, we propose to think about health in a field of oscillations between functional health and creative health. This text was written to be part of the dossier of Revista Problemata in honor of Dr. Edmilson Alves Azevedo, retired professor of the Department of Philosophy of the Federal University of Paraíba. I had the opportunity to be his student in the philosophy master’s degree of that university and then I was his co-worker at the time we were both professors of the same program. I hope that my reflections, following the steps of an essay writing, can be inspiring to think about caring and health in the light of Merleau-Ponty. I dedicate this text to Professor Edmilson Alves Azevedo who insistently placed the practice of philosophizing in the context of creative thinking beyond academic repetitions.
