ABSTRACT | ||
Body has been an age-old issue. It‘s presence can be traced both in the domains of theology and philosophy. From Plato to Aquinas, body has been allocated what was considered to be its measured ground. For Plato, it was in the grand scheme of things, if only to bring to the fore the superiority of soul and in the process help establish a dichotomy that even with the modified approaches of Aristotle and Aquinas afterwards could not be mitigated. This article makes an effort to review the unfolding of the whole situation since then in order to pick up the nuances and trace all the intricacies of the subject matter that can have further bearing on our times. Keywords: Body, soul, dichotomy, body as capital, lived body. |
