In the matter of the body, even comparative language—the very use of English today—is soaked through and through with the Cartesian version of the intuition of dualism: the idea that we are fundamentally a mind and a body that must be either related ingeniously, or else reduced to one another. Instead, by deliberately looking at genres that pertain to other aspects of being human, I seek to go deeper into texts that simply start elsewhere than with intuitions of dualism, even while being engrossed in the category of the experiential ‘body’ (in all its translational variety in Sanskrit and Pali). (Ram-Prasad 2018, p. 11)

人，身体：古典印度的现象学，Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad

就身体而言，甚至比较语言（当今英语的使用）也一直浸透于二元直觉的笛卡尔式版本中：我们从根本上说是一个心智和一个必须巧妙地联系在一起的身体的观念，否则彼此减少。相反，通过刻意研究与人类其他方面相关的体裁，我试图更深入地研究与二元论直觉不同的文本，即使它们全神贯注于体验性“身体”（在其所有方面）中。梵文和巴利文中的翻译变体）。（拉姆普拉萨德2018，p。11）
