Abstract
What is the deeper meaning of embodiment in phenomenology? Does it have more than a mere homophonic or logical connection with embodiment (Incarnation) in theology, or are these two completely autonomous concepts? The present study not only endeavours to show the unity of sense, which was originally brought about by the theological idea of Incarnation, but also the transposition of that sense into the phenomenological topic of embodiment. From this the question arises whether the fundamental theological meaning is still asserting itself in the phenomenological concept. The underlying theme of this study upon embodiment consists ultimately in bringing to light the occurrence of a latent metaphysical dimension in phenomenology, which would not be reducible to onto-theology
