Cuerpos habitados por la misma carne: implicaciones antropológicas de la teoría de la corporalidad de Michel Henry

Abstract

The present study tries to explain the anthropological assumptions implicitly contained in Michel Henry's ontology of corporality and specifically in his theory concerning the possibility ofa subjectively determined body. In order to achieve this, we examine previously four paradigms regarding the theory of corporality (to be specific, those proposed by Descartes, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger), highlighting their respective tacit implications on the essence of man. From this criticism addressed by Henry to these four models of reflection concerning the corporal, derives a unitary conception of the human phenomenon, as well as a rehabilitation of the ontological status of subjectivity.
