6. Somaesthetics, as I have repeatedly insisted, involves a critique of body-mind dualism. For example, somaesthetics argues that habits we typically identify as bodily also exert a very strong but usually unrecognized influence on what is generally considered to be our merely mental lives, not only in the realm of emotion but in that of perception and reasoning.
