Abstract In order to follow the trails of the corporeal-being-in-the-world by Rousseau and to treat this author as a postcartesian symptom of the "return of the body" (Kamper/Wulf 1982) it is important to take into account four determining aspects in his life, thought and work: the nature, the sensibility, the imagination and the society. Those aspects create practical and theoretical situations in which the corporeal-being-in-the-world appears as a lived body and as a thing body. As a person Rousseau had to live and suffer in his on himself the new social conditions of this period. Due to this uneasyness and discontent Rousseau was able to experience new things and to create spaces of reflection which were related with the corporality. The vitality of the body and the world of the feelings became very important for his own personal life and also for the imagination and for the obtention of knowledge. In contrast to Descartes, Rousseau developes a way of reflection linked and oriented to the corporality (feelings, nature, and sensibility). Unlike as Descartes and his "desengagierte" and "non-corporeal" reason, Rousseau starts from a res sensible, whose constitution is compound. This res sensible can be regarded as potential, as a moving force. In this way Rousseau comes to the concrete problem of the corporeal "I can" (action) and leaves sideways the problem of the abstract "I think". Self-consciousness is then for Rousseau a corporeal being's act. The res sensible is the place of our feelings, a Here and Now which opens ourselves and mediates our relation with the world. Under this view the body appears as condition of possibility of the social and as point of reference in order to criticizing the society. In this way Rousseau promotes for the first time an anthroplogy of the "embodiment" which begins "from below".
