The contribution addresses the topic of bodily habits from both a historical and theoretical perspective. It illustrates the ancient, Aristotelian premises, according to which habits have a non-intellectual but practical connotation, the modern turning point, in which a neutral, non-moral consideration of bodily habits emerges, together with the study of their neurophysiological correlates, until arriving at the centrality of bodily habits in 20th-centu¬ry philosophy, after the 19th-century leg marked by the development of the so-called ‘double law of habit’. The contribution brings into focus a conception of bodily self that is influen¬ced by French phenomenological thought and American pragmatist tradition, especially Merleau-Ponty in the first case, and Dewey in the second. In support of this conception, re¬cent developments in the philosophies of habit are investigated, both in dialogue with neuro¬sciences and with non-Western traditions, such as the Japanese.

Keywords: Philosophy of Habit, Corporeality, Repetition, Automatisms, Active Intuition.
