Cuerpos diversos: una aproximación desde la filosofía del cuerpo de Laín Entralgo

In this article we explore an approximation of the human phenomenon of functional diversity through Lain Entralgo’s corporal-based anthropology. Although the social model of disability enabled the naturalism that impregnated the traditional medical model to be overcome, it nevertheless sidelined the body, which it continues to perceive as a mere biological entity. We consider Lain Entralgo’s holistic theory of the body. Generally speaking this allows for a richer characterisation of functional diversity while also thinking of the anthropological and moral bases for the careful, fair treatment of people with this characteristic.
