Lysenko, V. G. ‘Body’ in Early Buddhism of the Psychophysical Problem

Abstract: The main goal of the article is to show that there were no grounds for the psychophysical problem in the context of early Buddhism views on human (‘Buddha’s’ teachings). The article contains the review of various Buddhistic approaches to the body, describes the ‘constructive’ image of the body in psychophysical teachings and theoretical discourse and considers Buddha’s arguments against other teachings about the relation between the soul and the body as well as the basic conceptions of the Buddhistic analysis of psychosomatic phenomena such as dharma, skandhas, paticca-samuppada.

Keywords:

psychology, psychophysical problem, body, Buddhism, soul, consciousness, emergence, embodiment, nama-rupa, skandhas.
