우파니샤드에 내재된신체 개념의 체육 철학적 탐구

Abstract

For long time Cartesian dualism has been the main concept about mind and body in philosophical world. The physical concept of Descartes' dualism was followed by body concept of existentialism as perceiving and moving as not just a tool but as being-in-the-world. The method of existential phenomenology perceives the change and move from the sensory. Hence the phenomenological body concept is also about the material being and material change. Therefore the characteristic of phenomenology can cause attachment about material being, which could be inclined to self-collapse in the world of material being and material change. Likewise the characteristic of phenomenology causes nihilism of postmodernism nowadays. Although the Cartesian dualism was overcome by the phenomenological body concept, new concept of body is needed for a whole being that has to tolerate old body concept. This has led me to research about the body concept in Indian Philosophy, from which a new concept of body has been derived. The ancient body concepts were sought from the famous Indian scriptures such as Upanishad, to grasp the passage of the writings about body concept as the human being is the god and whole world. The body concept from Upanishad can be named a whole-linked-body. A whole-linked-body consists of body of food(annamaya kosa), body of breathing(pranamaya kosa), body of sense and mind(manomaya kosa), body of intellect(vijnanamaya kosa), and body of inspiration(annandamaya kosa). All the human being can exist perfectly as a whole-linked-body in the view point of epistemology and ontology. A whole-linked-body is a high condition for human being's good life in the view point of social philosophy and culture philosophy. In conclusion, a view point of a whole-linked-body can contribute in upgrading and expanding physical education.
