This essays contents that the phenomenon of embodiment is one the most decisive issues in contemporary philosophy, and is especially so for phenomenological philosophy. Beyond that, this phenomenon is central to the works which this study proposes to examine and criticize: those of Gabriel Marcel, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The latter two explicitly claim that their perspective theories are phenomenological, in the Husserlian sense; that of M. Marcel, while not making such claim, is nevertheless relevant for a phenomenological analysis of embodiment and, beyond that, has decisively influenced the theories of MM. Sartre and Merleau-Ponty.
