 McDowell claims to echo Strawson’s work when he writes in this connection that we must regain the concept of a human being from what he takes to be a “philosophically generated” concept of a human body (McDowell 1982: 469; cf. Cook 1969). Some take issue with McDowell over whether the latter is only a philosophically generated concept (Wright 1998), but it is hard to deny that the move from the former concept to the latter is deeply significant.
