Attention!
The lecture will explore aspects of the physical body as anthropology
discusses them, and consider how even our most apparently material
attributes are immediately charged with especially human signification. It
will consider that the human body is never simply an inhuman animal
background in the service of a "higher" human intelligence, much less a
mechanical instrument of abstract consciousness. Rather the human body is
always experienced by every subject only as a fully human medium of exchange
with the world. The body conditions or shapes the quality of the
consciousness which is human. The face, the vocal apparatus, the hands, our
species' sexuality and bipedality (two leggedness) appear in the world at
once expressing the full range of all essential human aspirations. Dr. Gruber, a Benedictine monk and priest, holds a B.A. degree in Philosophy
as well as a Masters of Divinity. Full professor at St. Vincent College, PA,
and author of several books and articles in Physical, Cultural and
Archaeological Anthropology, he earned his Phd. in the Doctoral Program of
Anthropological Sciences from the State University of New York, Stony Brook,
NY.
