Abstract

The particular body has no similarities with the substance of the spirit; he is radically different: he has his own nature, his autonomy inside the human. This difference is fundamental for the constitution of the human person. She is founding -through the redefinition of the concept of passion- the independence of the spirit, the moral neutrality of the body , and the moral integrity of the person . Nevertheless, the particular human body, qua unified with a soul, became himself a homogeneous individual, changing meaning and as well, in a way, changing substance. Thereby, the body becomes identical with the person; he is the expression of the self
