The texts and images that address what it means to inhabit a body: sleeping and dreaming, eating and drinking, desire and pleasure, sickness and death. Not philosophy *about* life, but the primary sources *of* life — the agricultural manuals, dream treatises, erotic art, medical casebooks, and funerary monuments that record how humans have experienced being alive.
