Sociology of Body and Theoretical Arguments

There have been a lot of arguments about body in pre-modern literature in different disciplines such as Christian religious and theological debates. Such debates argue that body is considered as a negative element with the potentiality of committing sin and preventing the elevation of spirit. These arguments are followed by western philosophy of mind/ body paradox, which is itself followed by other paradoxes such as man/ woman, male body/ female body, etc. This article aims to describe a branch of sociology namely the sociology of body and express the theoretical arguments about ontology of body, mind/ body paradox, surveillance and feminist literature on female body.
