本文探討一百多年來的身體現象學發展，彰顯現象學對身體這個哲學課題所導出的突破。目標在於脫離常識中之身體觀念的「身體現象」，闡明身體現象學的哲學優點，並經由一條跨領域、跨文化思維的理路，將現有研究成果再往前推一步。文中首先勾勒「運作著的身體」、知覺中發揮作用的身體性以及「世界中的身體」，再依據海德格的「處身情境」討論「情態中的身體」和「關係中的身體」。最終根據列維納斯、亨利、當代舞蹈以及《莊子》，推展「運動中的身體」與「逆轉收回」這種悖論式運動模式，並討論「運動中的身體」與「時間性」之間的聯繫。

This paper presents major achievements of a centennial phenomenology of the living body, in order to elucidate the specific advantages a phenomenological approach to the issue of the body has. As to the difference between the common understanding of the body and the ＂phenomenon of the body＂, this paper mainly discusses Husserl's ＂functioning body＂, Merleau-Ponty's ＂body in the world＂, the ＂body in attunement＂ and the ＂body in relation＂ according to Heidegger, as well as to Levinas. Aiming at a further development of these important phenomenological insights, this paper then unfolds a transdisciplinary, as well as transcultural, approach, taking Henry, contemporary dance and the Zhuang Zi as further evidence, so as to demonstrate how the living body essentially originates in movement. As a result, it is argued that the ＂body in movement＂ deploys some kind of paradoxical moving pattern, namely ＂reverting and taking back＂, thus being intimately connected with the temporality of human existence.
