Özet
The knowledge and experience of physicians about the body was very limited since the anatomical examination of the body was not allowed in classi-cal cultures. The abolition of the dissection prohibition and Descartes' re-drawing attention to the body is very critical in terms of its examination. Mo-reover, with the advancement of science and technique, the development of medicine and medical instruments has allowed the body to be studied more closely and in more detail. While the soul became the subject of philosophy in the classical period, later the body became the subject of philosophy as well. In modern medicine, the body has revealed itself as a mere fact and a mechanical system, a dilemma has emerged in the form of the body, which is the subject of medical science, and the body that the patient experiences.Thus, the body has become an important problem in clinical medicine. The main subject of the ar-ticle is to deal with the body from a medical and philosophical point of view. Its purpose is to go back to the main concerns and thoughts behind these ques-tions and problems, to analyze and discuss the body with its medical and philo-sophical dimensions, and to question the body understanding of clinical medi-cine.Thus, this study focuses on interconnected questions such as how the body turns into a problem in medicine in the modern era, what are the tho-ughts that make it a problem, and how we should face these thoughts. In addi-tion, in this study, we aim at to reach the following conclusion:The body is a reality that does not remain as a 'thing-in-itself' as predicted by positivism, dua-lism and clinical medicine, but always exceeds the sum of its own existence and overflows itself.
