Chesnov, Ya. V. Existence: the Lower Part of Body

Abstract: Starting from the anal stage described by Sigmund Freud the author gives philosophical and anthropological grounds for his theory of existence of the lower part of the body. The author studies mythological materials from the point of view of age stages. The author shows that despite a great variety of ceremonies and religious faiths humanity has always shown consistency in his attention towards defecation and urination. All modern civilizations clearly show it.


Keywords:

philosophy, defecation, urination, fecal anxiety, ceremonies, metacorporeity, creativity, intentionality, thoughtimage, self-identification.
