Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The human being is corporeal. The human person is corporeal. How can we find plurality and relationship in his carnal ontology? Sometimes, philosophical thought seems to forget precisely this centrality: the fact that we are corporeal beings. Not only that, we are sexual bodily beings. The itinerary of reflection that is proposed here focuses precisely on this somatic dimension. The attempt is to investigate the human, man and woman, observing relationality and corporeality from the point of view of ontology. Precisely because we are dealing with a being who is sexed, it is particularly interesting to consider some of the stresses brought to anthropology by women's thinking starting from the mid-twentieth century, given that it was they who highlighted a deficient aspect of philosophical reflection. on the human being, in the past observed only from the male perspective and having in the male only the model of the human itself. We will try to show how the solution to some needs highlighted by women’s studies is not that of deconstructing the subject or the nomadic subject, but precisely that of a relational subject. And it is precisely from here that it is possible to observe how the fact that the human being is man and woman returns to illuminate the question of identity. But if corporeality is an integral part of human personal identity, the specificity of a woman, regardless of whether or not she is actually a mother, can introduce us even more deeply into that mystery that is human relational identity.
