Body and Method Heidegger’s Treatment of the Issue of Corporeality in the Zollikon Seminars

Abstract

The article examines Heidegger’s considerations of corporeality in the Zollikon Seminars, focusing on the fundamental position from which they are made, and discusses Heidegger’s need to address the issue of the living body separately from scientific considerations. Therefore, it emphasizes the profound meaning of a possible “change of method” that seems to lead the reflection on the body toward the clarification of its inherent mode of being, in order to explain how it can be understood as an existential.
