當代女性主義主張，「女性身體」是「社會文化的建構」。然而，如何在其中找到「女性」共 同團結的力量？本文嘗試從現象學觀點來解決這個「共同」與「差異」的爭議，亦即，「共同」 與「差異」並非對立詞彙，事實上，這兩者可以並存，而其中的關鍵是：自然身體和文化身體不 是對立的。也就是說，女性主義之所以無法在強調「身體的文化建構」的同時，兼顧「女性」共 同的肉身基礎，是因為，女性主義往往把「身體」視為被生物法則或被文化條件所決定。本文所 提出的現象學觀點將說明：身體不是一個被動的身軀，它在處境中轉化、賦予其意涵。如此一來， 自然身體和文化身體互為脈絡的關係，將使我們兼顧身體的自然和文化面，進而解決女性主義有 關「共同」與「差異」身體的爭議。

Contemporary feminists claim that the ‘female body’ has been resulted from constructions of social culture. They emphasize the ‘differences’ of the body. But the question is thus: how do we find the solidarity of ‘sisterhood’ from within differences? In this paper, I will argue from a phenomenological point that ‘difference’ and ‘commonality’ is not antagonistic. The critical clincher is that the natural body and the cultural body could co-exist. With the help of phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty, I will explain that the body is not a passive corporality determined by biological law and/or cultural condition, but an active site which encarnalizes its own situations. So, the inter-contextual relationship between the natural body and the cultural body will help solving the antipathy between ‘the difference’ and ‘the commonality.’
