Abstract

LLORENTE, Jaime. Heidegger and the Ontological Status of the Body A Confrontation with Michel Henry's Phenomenology of the Flesh. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2016, vol.65, n.162, pp.261-289. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v65n162.48418.

The article examines M. Heidegger's position regarding the ontological sense of corporality understood as an answer to the interpellation of that which presents itself to Dasein due to its constitution as being open to the world. This leads to questions regarding the corporal and technical action on the world and others, or the problem of the animal body. Finally, the article confronts Heidegger's perspective with M. Henry's theory of the subjective or transcendental body, in which the ontological openness is replaced by a phenomenology of life applied to the living body as an embodied corporality.

Keywords : M. Heidegger; M. Henry; body; technic; life.
