In a philosophical understanding, the body is a physical and intel- lectual medium by which the person enters into earthly life and lingers there. As a whole, the body is comprehended sufficiently neither by a philosophy of identity nor by a dualistic, nor by an alterity philosophy. In a personal and relational or in a dialogical approach, however, the human body can be under- stood as a metaphysically reasonable being. Theologically, the term body de- notes the human being in its physical and in its spiritual understanding and also in its individual and in its social understanding. For a human being, the body is an instrument of both the creative self-realization of a human being as well as a form of God's presence in this world. In its scientific reflection, Chris- tian theology should understand the body of man neither in a separatist, nor in a naturalized, nor in a spiritualized way. The human body is always the body of a human being, in nature and spirit as well as in culture and in faith. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
