Subjectivity: horizons of the embodiment
Keywords:
embodiment, experience, heterogeneity, totality, phenomenal body
Abstract
The article is an attempt to account for specificity of newest ideas about embodiment as the fundamental horizon of human experience. Rationalistic ways of the understanding of embodiment are replaced by the idea of it as a kind of the psychosomatic congruence, a kind of the "unity" of sensual and intellectual. Contemporary stage of conceptualization of a human embodiment is determined by the new strategy created by the phenomenological philosophy of experience. A human body is the “subject of perception" and constitution of the world according to the theory of M. Merleau-Ponty. The embodiment is "an organized set of ideas, memories and passions" according to the concept of B. Waldenfels
