Abstract

In Chapter 1, I affirmed a conception of organization as a process of material embodiment, drawing on Hobbes’s conception of the state, Gehlen’s anthropology and Turner’s sociology. All three employ an analysis of Man’s need to construct culture to approach the problem of corporeal and corporate organization. The present chapter develops the argument by addressing two specific and related accounts of this process in the field of medicine.
