LLORENTE CARDO, Jaime. Bodies inhabited by the same flesh: anthropological implications of Michel Henry's theory of corporality. Estud.filos [online]. 2016, n.53, pp.103-125. ISSN 0121-3628.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.n53a06.

The present study tries to explain the anthropological assumptions implicitly contained in Michel Henry's ontology of corporality and specifically in his theory concerning the possibility of a subjectively determined body. In order to achieve this, we examine previously four paradigms regarding the theory of corporality (to be specific, those proposed by Descartes, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger), highlighting their respective tacit implications on the essence of man. From this criticism addressed by Henry to these four models of reflection concerning the corporal, derives a unitary conception of the human phenomenon, as well as a rehabilitation of the ontological status of subjectivity.

Keywords : Henry; body; subjectivity; exteriority; anthropology.
