More recent postmodernists, he went on, characterize the mind-body unity of dance as a "form of meditation or prayer, or of transcendence, transfiguration, regeneration, or healing".
In this sense, the body's unity derives from the fact it has a single end, or single life directionality, a state of affairs that Aristotle captures by characterizing the body as the sort of matter which is organic (organikon; DA 412a28).
Mr. Miller, in an interview in his office in the East Wing of City Hall, dismissed the idea that term limits had attenuated his power, and pointed to the body's unity in passing laws.
We leftists and liberals often like to think of ourselves as an intersectional body of unity.
For the body is a unity which is in a sense indivisible because of the arrangement of its organs, these being so related to one another that the removal of any one of them renders the whole body defective.
In the same way as the body is a unity even though it is constituted by a plurality of parts—foot, hand, blood, bone each having its own form the human soul also is constituted by a plurality of parts and nevertheless is a unity.
In particular, the sense of disownership seems to be nicely explained by the lack of bodily control "The body is a unity of actions, and if a part of the body is split off from action, it becomes 'alien' and not felt as part of the body" (Sacks, 1984, p. 166).

For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
Yet all the while Whitman is giving voice (if we would only listen) to a typical mid-nineteenth-century theory about the unity of body and soul, except in a version all his own, with body and soul making love on the lawn — a wild idea, if you think about it.
