Ja-cielesne - próba nowego spojrzenia

Abstract

The article discusses the concept of the physical self and how it evolved. The philosophical sources of the concept are presented. Next, various psychological conceptions of the physical self are analysed (body image, body schema, body boundaries etc.). Finally I present my own approach to the issue. I attempt to demonstrate that integration of existing physical self conceptions is possible. The processes of embodiment and incorporation are assigned a key role in the model.
