We, both travellers and co-players on the stage of world-theatre successively perform realities.
Everywhere my body is always with me. I have my body through which I can experience my location and my insertion in the world. My body is the starting point of orientation, perspective, and action. It may be said that all dramas of everyday life happen outside or inside my body. Our unique body is the field of various expressions.
What is the basic problem for us in everyday life ? I think it is to live our life, that is, to build the world in which we can construct meaningful realities. There may be four main activities in our life. These are as follows : world-building, reality-construction, situation-definition, and identity building.
My body is the fundamental situation for me. My experience is both of the world and in the world. Through my body I have been involved into the intersubjective socio-cultural world. Everyday life-world is the world of role-playing and self-presentation, of communication and interaction, of common sense and folk ways.
Being born into the world means to experience our world and our body. It also means to experience Others and things. Man's experience of the world is always associated with the experience of himself.
It is urgent problem for us how to locate us in the world and to relate us to the world. Reality-construction may be defined as ordering of our world experiences. Also it may be defined as building of the meaningful world.
On the one hand our body is a physical object, but on the other hand our body is the phenomenal body. By the phenomenal body is meant the lived-body which is intimately connected with intentional consciousness and action.
Man is the body-subject. My body is the focus of lifelong social experiences.
