Critiques of disembodied knowledge?

Given sociopolitical critiques of abstract universalism, legal neutrality, colorblindness, etc (Hawkesworth, “Embodied Power”), and psychological theories of embodied cognition, I’m curious if there are philosophical critiques in a similar vein. Something as simple as a critique of mind/body dualism or the subjectivity/objectivity distinction, maybe even the distinction between metaphysics and epistemology. Anything that prioritizes the body and lived experience as foundational to logic and reason.
