The Flesh of the Body and the World. At the Margins of the Phenomenology

Abstract

The article hints to two margins of the correlation between the world and the flesh of the bodily subjectivity: to the senseless being, or the real, and to the position of the body. Under the subjective pole of the correlation we find an event of position of the body in the early Levinas who discovers an anonymous "there is", il y a, behind the opposite pole of correlation, as an outside or exteriority without correlation to an inside or interiority.

From out another perspective, given with the experience of a resistance, Hans Rainer Sepp conceives such margins of the correlation as well: the concept of the "limit-body" on the one side, and the concept of the real on the other side. In these ways Levinas and Sepp touch not only margins but also some minimal conditions of the world-flesh relation: not only the "limit-body" but the "real" as well don't enter in this relation but they undelay it rather as its factual conditions.
