Human corporeality as a subject of humanitarian knowledge

The article examines the theoretical discourse of physicality as the quintessence of philosophical, spiritual, intellectual quests, teachings, and concepts. It is shown how each scientific tradition (philosophical, anthropological, psychological, sociological, cultural, artistic), studying the phenomenon of corporeality from different angles, reinterpreted, supplemented or denied the previous one. In this context corporality appears as a source of meaning, as a sign system, and also as a field for experiment in art.
