I shall attempt to do four things in this paper:(1) sketch the influence of two models—one essentialist, the other non-essentialist—on some contemporary ways of categorizing the body;(2) indicate certain tensions that remain because of the dominant influence of the essentialist model;(3) discuss what to my mind is the most sustained attempt by phenomenology to come to terms with the problem of the body by concentrating on Merleau-Ponty's theory of operative intentionality;(4) argue that intentionality and ontological analysis must always be distortive of this issue, and indicate an alternative way of approaching the matter
