Corporeity

/ˌkɔrpɔˈreɪəti/ noun

Definition

The state of having a body; physical embodiment or material existence.

Etymology

From Latin corporeitas, derived from corporeus (bodily). This is a more formal philosophical term for the condition of being embodied in physical form.

Kelly Says

When philosophers talk about corporeity, they're asking deep questions like 'does your mind rely on corporeity'—would your thoughts and personality disappear if your physical body was gone?
