But is it really true that there is no role for the body to play when the intellect occupies itself with formulating moral norms? Undoubtedly the body constitutes – in a sense – the basis of morality, since human freedom can exist only as freedom incarnate. It would be equally difficult to deny that the body constitutes boundaries for morality. Bodiliness may significantly restrain cognitive abilities of men; but it may also reduce their capabilities to fulfill their moral obligations. A major controversy arises over the issue whether the body can influence the content of moral norms. Even if one accepts the validity of the thesis of an intransgressible boundary between the world of facts and the world of values, there is no doubt that man never experiences his body in the same way as he does other material objects. An experience of one’s own body matters significantly in ethical reflection.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={On controversies concerning the normative dimension of human bodiliness}, title={Kontrowersje wokół normatywnego wymiaru ludzkiego ciała}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/98029/PDF/Machinek.pdf}, doi={10.24425/snt.2013.112764}, keywords={bodiliness, naturalistic fallacy, moral norms, natural law, values}, }
