Once again I am confused by my own words. There is a part of me that
says I cannot speak of the body as different from the psyche, and a part
of me that feels I need to. Perhaps it would be better to speak of
Dasein as a "whole" as opposed to the body as a "part" of Dasein; as a
revealing of a mode of Dasein that makes itself particularly accessible
as an object. Is this consistent with what you said in your last
posting, Michael?
