Italian to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Philosophy | | Italian term or phrase: l'essere corpo | L’essere corpo non è altro dal pensare, come una certa tradizione platonica e poi cartesiana ha indotto a credere, ma il corpo è la possibilità stessa del pensiero; concetto questo che trova una densa espressione proprio nelle parole di Thoreau: La mia testa sono le mani e i piedi.
No other context other than the above.

| | existing bodily/bodily existence | Explanation:
This might work, as in - "We cannot distinguish existing bodily from thinking" or "...bodily existence from thought"
As Jim mentions, the old Cartesian problem. For philosophers like Dennet, there is no 'Cartesian theatre' where our mental experiences are 'played out' - the mind is not a separate 'out of body' phenomenon, and consciousness is entirely physical.
