It is mistaken to suppose that human beings are 'embodied' at all - that conception belongs to the Platonic, Augustinian, and Cartesian tradition that should be repudiated. It would be far better to say, with Aristotle, that human beings are ensouled creatures (empsuchos) - animals endowed with such capacities that confer upon them, in the form of life that is natural to them, the status of persons.
