“The human body is the best

-Jess C. Scott
BODY and SEXUALITY: A Christian Perspective on Gender Issues
PRAELOCUTIO
COME
Singaporean author Jess C. Scott pointed out that “the human body is the best work of art”. Indeed, the human
body is the art that sums up the beauty that is seen in the universe. From Socrates’ “Knowing Thyself” to Pope Francis’
“Human Ecology”, the human body is seen from different perspectives throughout history and disciplines and should
always be seen into one truth: the truth that the human body must be seen with respect and dignity.
As we start the subject Body and Sexuality: A Christian Perspective on Gender Issues, Module 1
will help us understand that body and sexuality are founded on the Philosophical and Theological Traditions. It is
established from the historical developments of male and female identity from the conventional theology that has
regulated the course of social roles to the rise of feminism that challenges the impositions of these social roles. With
these objectives in mind, Module 1 of our subject Body and Sexuality: A Christian Perspective on Gender
Issues will attempt to give our foundational attitude on the human body and form us to widen our perspectives on our
body, gender, sexuality, and identity as we proceed to our upcoming sessions.
SEE
When we were in our toddler years, our parents would teach us nursery rhymes as a way for us to understand
the world around us in a level that as toddlers can fathom. The nursery rhymes like “itsy bitsy spider” taught us a day
of spider’s life, “bahay kubo” explains to us the different vegetables that can be seen at our backyard and encouraged
us to eat vegetables to have a healthy body, and “paa, tuhod, balika’t ulo” let us realize and understand our body in
an early age. Through the creative interpretations of knowledge through a song like that of a nursery rhyme, as children
we can have a grasp of the things with a creative effect that is easily stuck in our early minds.
Our understanding to the everyday things develops as we mature with the help of education and experience.
From singing of the nursery rhyme “paa, tuhod, balika’t ulo” as our source of knowledge of the human body as a
toddler, we get to discover that the human body is not only “paa, tuhod, balika’t ulo” but it has different systems and it
has an important role in society as explained by the different disciplines. As we mature enough, we tend to know that
the human body is not only a physical entity that perceives the world but the history of the different schools of thought
gave us more lens towards the human body. From “paa, tuhod, balika’t ulo”, let us discover the human body as the
best work of art.

I. THE HUMAN BODY

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
• Anatomy Gk.(Ana – Up; Tomia - Cutting) – study of the

structure and relationships between body parts (What
your body is…)
• Physiology Gk. (Physiologia – ‘Natural Philosophy’) –
science of how various body parts come together to
function, and keep the body alive (What your body
does…)
• Human Body – entire structure of a human being
composed of many different types of cells that together
create tissues and subsequently organ systems.

PSYCHOLOGY
• The body – the physical aspect of the brain-neurons

and how the brain is structured. (mind – the experience
a person has of him or herself composed of thoughts,
. emotions, memories, desires, beliefs, sensations, even
consciousness itself, and such experience can be
located in the body)
Kathryn Creswell “Attack Relief” retrieved from: https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/379709812319880974/
SOCIOLOGY
• Sociology of the Body – branch of sociology that studies the representations and social uses of the
human body in modern societies.
Four Perspectives on the Body
1. CONSTRUCTION
The body is not a natural phenomenon but is socially

constructed. i.e. Simone de Beauvoir (The Second Sex, 1972)
• The body is inscribed – by one’s genes, culture,

choices, and environment. The fact that the body is
inscribed does not differentiate it from the self for selves
are also inscribed. Our families, friends, and institutions
with which we have associated everything in our
experience has inscribed itself into our selves)

Friends of the same feather flock together. constructionism-4586374
Tattoo’s as sources of cultural identity.
2. REPRESENTATION
The body is a representation of social relations of power.
• The body is a cultural representation of social organizations
e.g. The “head” is a metaphor of government. (Head of State)

Corporation – “corpus” (body) describes the modern
company
• Anthropological Traditions shows the divisions of the body are used to make
moral distinctions between good and bad.
e.g. Left handedness represents things that are sinister. (lefties)
• Michel Foucault – his historical research has shown how representations

of the body are the result of relations of power.

4. BODY TECHNIQUES
Significantly influenced by anthropology, looks at the body as a

collection of practices or techniques.
• Marcel Mauss – social anthropologist who invented the

concept of “body techniques” to describe how people learn to
manage their bodies according to social norms. The body is
an ensemble of performances.
• Pierre Bourdieu 2 influential concepts:
Hexis – deportment (gait, gesture, posture) by which
people carry themselves
Habitus – dispositions and habitual way of doing

PHILOSOPHY
• The “Human Embodiment” – primary datum that is the

starting point of any philosophical reflection about the human
person. It is characterized as “incarnate subjectivity or
embodied subjectivity”
“object” – known conceptually, abstractly, scientifically, its
content does not depend on the knower, it can be defined.
“subject” – source of initiative, inexhaustible, determines
the known (object)
e.g. The object of my study is a paintbrush, color, hue,

painting, art
The subject of my painting is a person
• Objectification of Bodies- women are objectified as bodies

only: bodies to be taken in sex, to bear children, work in
households, fields and sweatshops.

THEOLOGY
• Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla)

“Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the
Body”
- Constitutes an analysis on human sexuality which intends to
.
establish an adequate anthropology in which the Human
Body reveals God.
The Body has two fundamental meanings related to each other.

1. The body is a “SACRAMENT”
“sacrament” – an outward efficacious sign instituted by Christ
to give grace
– a visible sign that makes something invisible
present
e.g. love, compassion, mercy, forgiveness, egoism,
indifference, cruelty (These are invisible; only through
the body can they be manifested)
2. The body is a “GIFT”
– making love real and present for someone else is
nothing other than giving a gift to the other. The gift has
to be totally given and totally received.
• Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio)

“Human Ecology”
- The acceptance of our body as a gift from God is vital for
welcoming and accepting the entire world as a gift from the
Father and our common home, whereas thinking that we
enjoy absolute power over our own bodies turns, often
subtly, into thinking that we enjoy an absolute power over
creation.
- Learning to accept your body, to care for it and to respect
its fullest meaning, is an essential element of any genuine
human ecology.
II. FOUNDATIONS OF BODY AND SEXUALITY IN

PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL TRADITIONS: THE BODY
AND SOUL
• Dualism – view of something as made up of two irreducible elements.
e.g. Human being consisting of body and soul

Sweet and spicy pancit canton
ANCIENT
• Cosmo centrism – has a vision of reality that places the highest importance or emphasis in the universe or
nature. (cosmos - universe)
Man is part of the cosmos and is made of matter (body) and form (soul)

Socrates
• . Considered the father of Western Philosophy and in effect

the founder of Moral Philosophy. He established the
method of trying to get at truth by persistent questioning
(elenchus/Socratic method).
• He strongly believed that every human being had a
responsibility to live up to their physical potential. “No
citizen has the right to be an amateur in the matter of
physical training… what a disgrace it is for a man to grow
old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which
his body is capable.”

Plato
• Student of Socrates best known for his Theory of forms

or Ideas.
Theory of Forms – emphasizes on the perfection of ideals.
(Allegory of the Cave – Excerpt from the Republic)
Matter – considered particular in itself, all physical things that
are made. It composes the world of substance.
Form – composes the true, good, and beautiful. They are more
real than any objects that imitate them. It composes the world
of ideas.
Plato. Retrieved from:

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Plato
He believed that humans could be broken down into 3 parts: body, mind, soul.
• Body – physical part of a person that is only concerned with the material world, through which we are
able to experience the world we live in. Seeks self-gratification, mortal, and when it dies, it is truly dead.
• Mind – directed towards the heavenly realm of ideas and is immortal. It is with our minds that eternal
world of the forms is understandable. When it dies it return to the world of ideas.
– represents the most divine part of the soul.
• Soul – driving force/animating principle of the body. That it is what it gives us our identity.
– soul is separated from the body.
The body is the prison of the soul.
• Theory of Recollection – learning is essentially an act of recollecting things we know before we were
born but then forgot. True knowledge is knowledge of the eternal and unchanging forms.
Aristotle
• Student of Plato, best known for mapping out

the science and formulating logic.
SCIVISTINE? (Did You Know?)

Although Plato had been his teacher, Aristotle disagreed with
much of Plato's philosophy. Plato was an idealist, who believed
that everything had an ideal form. Aristotle believed in looking
at the real world and studying it. Aristotle. Retrieved from:

• Metaphysics – the branch of philosophy concerned with

the ultimate nature of what exists. It questions the natural
world “from outside”, as it were, and its questions can

Philosophers who take the natural world to be all there is
use the term metaphysics for the broadest, most possible
frameworks of human thinking. (meta – beyond; physis –

Aristotle on The Body and Soul

A living creature is a “substance” – “ousia” (body-matter; soul-form)
• Soul (Ψυχη - psyche) – the structure of the body; function and organization
• Reason (ναυς – nous) – ability of the soul; highest form of rationality.
-Aristotle thought that the highest form of the body. The soul is the sum total of the operations of a human
being.
-The body and soul are not two separate elements but are one thing. They are not distinct entities but rather
different parts or aspects of the same thing. (substance)
-There is no immortality of the soul. The soul cannot exist without the body. It dies along with the body.

St. Augustine of Hippo
• 4th century philosopher whose philosophy infused Christian doctrine

with Neoplatonism. He is famous for the “Confessions”
- Superiority of the soul over the body.
- The soul should be prioritized, the body is just temporary and
is a source of temptation
- The body contaminates the soul and the soul purifies the body.

St. Thomas Aquinas
• A Dominican priest who was immensely influenced by scholasticism

and Aristotle, famous for writing Summa Theologica.
. - St. Thomas approached man from a metaphysical point of view.
- Human being is the combination of both the form and matter in the
here and now.
- The human being is the combination of the body and soul
- Human being should act according to his/her essence
4 Laws of Aquinas
a. Eternal Law – the mind of God which humans cannot know. It contains
laws which govern the universe and control the life cycle of
everything in existence. Humans cannot fully know the Eternal Law,
they can occasionally glimpse reflections of it, through specific
scientific knowledge of aspects of the natural world.
b. Divine Law – Law of God revealed to people through the Bible which
Christians called the ‘Word of God’. Christ’s teachings convey Divine
Law to people.
c. Natural Law – a natural sense that ‘good is to be done and evil is to be
avoided’ some call it Human Nature. This directs our conscience and
if applied with reason to a situation will lead to the right outcome.
d. Human Law – everyday rules that govern our lives from the legal
system.

Modern
• Anthropocentrism - Man is now understood in his own terms, but basically on his reason,
thus rationalistic.
Rene Descartes
• 17th-century French philosopher and mathematician.

He invented the branch of geometry called analytic
geometry and is known as the first modern rationalist.
Rationalism – the view that we can gain knowledge of the

world by the use of reason, without relying on sense-
perception.
Empiricism – the view that all knowledge must ultimately
be derived from the senses.
Mind–body dualism – theory that mind and body are

distinct kinds of substances or natures. This position
implies that mind and body not only differ in meaning but
refer to different kinds of entities. Thus, a dualist would
oppose any theory that identifies mind with the brain,
conceived as a physical mechanism.

• Beginning from his famous Cogito, ergo sum (Latin: “I think,

therefore I am”), Descartes developed a theory of mind as
an immaterial, nonextended substance that engages in
various activities such as rational thought, imagining,
. feeling, and willing.
• In his Treatise of Man (1664), Descartes compared the
human body as a machine which has its own psychological
processes.
• Matter, or extended substance, conforms to the laws
of physics in mechanistic fashion, with the important
exception of the human body, which Descartes believed is
causally affected by the human mind and which causally
produces certain mental events. For example, willing the

DESCARTES’ WORK WAS BANNED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. Back in the late 1630s, the
theologian Gisbert Voetius had convinced the academic senate of the University of Utrecht to
condemn the philosopher’s work. (Descartes was Catholic, but his suggestion that the universe began
as a “chaotic soup of particles in motion,” in Hatfield's words, was contrary to orthodox theology.) In
the 1660s, his works were placed on the church’s Index of Prohibited Books.
Contemporary
• Reaction against the Hegelian System of Philosophizing known as dialectics.
Dialectics - thesis, antithesis, and synthesis; The interplay of opposing views necessary for progress.
e.g.
Michel Foucault
• French 20th century philosopher, historian of ideas, social

theorist, and literary critic whose theories primarily address
the relationship between power and knowledge, and how
they are used as a form of social control through societal
institutions.
• His genealogy aims to bring the body into the focus of
history. Rather than histories of mentalities or ideas,
genealogies are “histories of the body”.
• They examine the historical practices through which the
body becomes an object of techniques and deployments
of power. In Discipline and Punish, Foucault shows how
disciplinary techniques produce “docile bodies”: bodies
of prisoners, soldiers, workers and schoolchildren were
subjected to disciplinary power in order to make them more
useful and at the same time easier to control.
• The human body became a machine the functioning of
which could be optimized, calculated, and improved. Its
functions, movements and capabilities were broken down
into narrow segments, analyzed in detail and recomposed
in a maximally effective way.
