Abstract: | Praxis is not simply about learning cultural rules by rote, it is about coming to an understanding of social distinctions through your body. Much of clinical and practical knowledge [in medicine] is embodied knowledge-knowledge sensed through and with the body. This includes senses of sight, sound, touch, smell. |
