Additions to the quantum-synergetic concept of generalized corporeality

   Relevance. In the context of ontological transformations of man in the digital world, it seems relevant to analyze the quantum-synergetic concept of generalized corporeality of V. G. Budanov.

   The purpose is to identify the points of convergence of spiritual and material attitudes through the analysis of the manifestation of higher bodies in lower ones.

   Objectives: to analyze the concept of generalized corporeality; to demonstrate its capabilities as a means of analyzing the phenomena of modern spiritual culture and existential practices; to identify its potential as a practical guide for an individual life project.

   Methodology. When considering the concept of generalized corporeality from the perspective of two ontological attitudes, a comparative analysis was used. For the explication of the specificity of functional bodies and the analysis of the structure, content and dynamics of the concept of generalized corporeality, a philosophical and methodological analysis was used.

   Results. It was shown how numerous ontologies of generalized corporeality have been constructed depending on research tasks they are employed for and a cultural tradition they belong to. The concept of a permeable transition contour is introduced, which provides interaction and switching between bodies. The body of non-existence is added as an integrating transition contour for all other bodies. We assume that the transition space has a void nature and is a silhouette of the body of non-existence. The identification of the observer with one or another level of bodies serves as a quality marker for life practices and trajectories employed by a person.

   Conclusions. The concept is complemented with a transition contour and a body of non-existence. It is shown how it is possible to bring closer together the two anthropological profiles with either an orientation towards the material or the spiritual along the line of interaction between lower and higher bodies. An important idea is that higher bodies necessarily manifest themselves in lower ones, and lower ones serve as pathways to higher ones. Along the same line there lies a division into low and high life practices, as well as a boundary between natural and unnatural trajectories of fulfilling one’s needs. Consequently, such an understanding of the structure, content and dynamics of generalized corporeality serves as a supporting tool for diagnostics and influence on an individual’s life project.
