Before providing a rebuttal of the critiques of PHI, we need to be more precise about which theory of health we are defending. Roughly, it is possible to discern two contemporary proposals for how to conceptualize health and illness: the one proceeding mainly from the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty with Drew Leder (1990, 2016), Kay Toombs (1992), and ...
The first major critical point Sholl makes about PHI is that it underestimates the possibilities of the third-person scientific perspective and, therefore, tends to make naturalism—its major enemy—into a straw man (Sholl, 2015, 395–400).

The questions about the animal and the post-human lead us almost inevitably to the philosophy of Nietzsche, infamous for statements about “the blond beast” (1969a) and “the overman” (1976).
