PROBLEM WITH BEING TOO ENGROSSED TO ONE’S ACTIVITIES?

TO DISTINGUISH WHAT IS CLEAR?

WHO REALLY AM I?

MY BODY IS BOUNDED BY THE SPACE AND THE TIME FOUND IN MY PHYSICAL WORLD

CAN MY BODY ESCAPE THIS LIMITATION?

ARE THERE QUESTIONS ABOUT MYSELF THAT CAN BE ANSWERED NOT IN REFERENCE WITH MY BODY?

Plato: CONFLICT BETWEEN HEAVENLY AND EARTHLY TENDENCIES?

TO BE REAL MEANS TO BE WHAT?

SEPARATION FROM THE DESIRES OF THE BODY

PHYSICAL MATTER DECAYS & HAS ITS END

ARISTOTLE: RELATION OF BODY AND SOUL? SEPARATED?

THE RELATION OF BODY TO THE SOUL IS THE RELATION OF THE MATTER TO FORM

THE RELATION OF BODY TO THE SOUL IS THE RELATION OF THE MATTER TO FORM

MATTER = UNIQUENESS/ RARITY (EXCELLENCE)

FORM = FUNCTION (COMMONALITY)

DESCARTES = CERTITUDE = METHODIC DOUBT

PROVING EXISTENCE = REAL

ESSENCE OF MAN = HAVING A BODY

MARCEL’S PRIMARY REFLECTION

MY BODY IS OUTSIDE THE OBJECTIVE THING

THE OBJECTIVE WORLD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH

ME

“A BODY” = OBJECTIVE IDEA APART FROM ME

MARCEL’S SECONDARY REFLECTION

I RECOGNIZE THAT I AM PART OF THE THING THAT

I AM INVESTIGATING (SUBJECTIVE) = “MY

BODY”I HAVE SOMETHING TO DO (PARTICIPATE) WITH THE

OBJECTIVE WORLD

INTER-RELATIONSHIP OF THE PRIMARY &

SECONDARY REFLECTION ON OUR BODY

“I” TAKE CARE MY BODY & THE BODY RECOGNIZES

MY CLAIM OVER IT

CONSCIOUSNESS PHYSICAL WORLD

PHYSICAL BODY =

INTERMEDIARY

WORLD REVEALS SOMETHING TO THE

BODY

INTENTIONAL BODY

DIRECTED TO THE WORLD

DISCOVERS / RECOGNIZES MEANING

IN THE WORLD

MY BODY ACTS ALSO AS AN

INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN ME AND OTHER

BODIES

My body cannot fully state all of

my SUBJECTIVITY!
