Hacia La Pregunta Por La Corporalidad: Reflexiones Sobre El Cuerpo Humano en Cuanto Organismo

Abstract

ResumenLas ciencias naturales y su propagación en las esferas de la vida cotidiana han consolidado una experiencia del cuerpo humano que hoy en día parece ser preponderante, a saber, que éste es un organismo. En su articulación actual, este concepto pareciera ser el fundamento y la directriz indiscutible en gran parte de las consideraciones sobre esta problemática, incluso al interior de ciertas perspectivas filosóficas enraizadas aún en la interpretación cartesiana del cuerpo humano. El presente artículo pretende indagar en aquellos supuestos que configuran esta experiencia, con el fin de contribuir a un planteamiento estricto de la pregunta filosófica por la corporalidad.Palabras clave: Cuerpo humano, organismo, vida, extensión, función, mecánica, experiencia, Heidegger, Descartes. AbstractThe dissemination of the natural science in everyday life have resulted in a particular experience of human body, which now seems to be predominant: the concept of the human body as an organism. The organism concept, in their current articulation, seems to be the basis and guideline in much consideration of this problematic even inside of some philosophical perspective rooted in the Cartesian interpretation of human body. The aim of this article is to investigate the assumptions, which compose this experience in order to contribute with a strict approach to the Philosophical question of corporality.Key words: Human body, organism, life, extension, function, mechanics, experience, Heidegger, Descartes. EL CUERPO: BREVE EXAMEN DE SUS MODOS DE ACCESOEl fenómeno cuerpo humano pareciera nacer y desplegarse al interior de un sinnúmero de prejuicios que han configurado una manera específica de relacionarnos con la corporalidad humana en general.

“…Meanwhile, another author proposes in Florence an epistemic obstacle to the scientific disciplinary development of nursing 29 ; in this reading an approach to the epistemic development contrary to the positivist view is recognized, given that there is an approach to the definition and understanding of the body closer to the philosophical discussions than its approach as a "thing of the world" inherent to rationalism and its later positivist development 1,30 . By conceptually understanding the body in the way described, it results in a dehumanisation of people in the health system 31 .…”

“…The historical tradition of the cartesian inheritance has understood the body as a measurable object subject to the laws of the physical world. After the Copernican turn of Kantian philosophy, understanding emerges of the body in other schools of thought, among them phenomenology, which comes to understand it as the possibility of accessing the world and its incarnation, precisely in the existential tradition 1 . Similarly, the body is interpreted as an object of molecular study and its intersystem interactions enable its definition 2 derived from the Cartesian understanding, being physically analyzable, with the question by its very nature acquiring relevance 1 and being answered by authors who propose different ways to understand it 1,[3][4][5] .…”
