The dichotomy between body and soul has been an important problem for many philosophers for a long time.Since Plato began in ancient Greece,the theory of the dichotomy of body and soul began to form.In modern times,Descartes put forward the concept of mind entity.The relationship between mind and body began to appear in epistemological level,that is,how the subject understands the object.Spinoza’s emphasis on the body prompted him to try to solve the problem with a "one-size-fits-all" approach,but failed because he did not jump out of the cage of the inner world.Phenomenological philosophers are also trying to solve this problem,like Husserl’s.The theory of intentionality,Heidegger’s philosophy of existence,and Melo Ponty’s phenomenology of body,have many insights,but none of them can be said to solve this problem perfectly.German modern philosopher Hermann Schmitz,on the basis of the criticism of the previous solutions to physical and mental problems,according to his own new phenomenological theory to solve the physical and mental problems.Schmitz’s answer to the question of body and mind begins with a new definition of the concept of "body".His concept of body is completely different from the concept of "body" of the mind,which has been stripped off in the past,but rather the body in the phenomenological sense.Interpret me in a new way Our body and the world’s way of communication,through the human body perception and emotion caused by emotional tremors to study the moods of the body;Then he redefined "emotion",which was not only a focus of the new phenomenological study,but also important for Schmitz’s final resolution of the mind.But something similar to the atmosphere that can be felt by the body makes emotion the object of perception.Another part of new phenomenology is physical dynamics,which is how the body moves away from the "guidance" of the mind,which is based on the situational ontology of physical dynamics.Personal communication gives the body the ability to communicate with the world and with others in order to solve the epistemological reflection of physical and mental problems: the subject and object dichotomies.Schmitz’s new phenomenological thought has many innovative points.He inherited and developed Meloponti’s body phenomenology and found the body value.And how to unify the subjectivity and objectivity in the subject through the situation is of great significance to the further development of phenomenology.His idea of solving physical and mental problems is also effective,which is a meaningful attempt to solve the dichotomy between body and mind.
