| Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 體育學系 === 84 === This dissertation examines the influences of Pre-Chin
Confucian and Taoist"Body Concepts" on the contemporary
societies. The underlying strategy of thewhole work is
Derrida''s concept of double reading with the following pointsof
convergence. 1. The body has been socially constructed as
the conveyance of convictions, such as moral,
instrumental, playful, free, transcendent body. This
shows some traces of pre-Chin Confucian and Taoist body concepts
in the contemporary societies. 2. The body as the
field of manifestation has been treated both in pre-Chin
Confucianism and Taoism. To further study the body concept in
our contemporary societies, one finds that it coexists,
on the one hand, with the concept of social control and
domination and the traditional Confucian concept of
commitment. On the other, the reactionary tradition to it is
the concept of liberation and free-play with strong affiliations
with Taoism.
