One of the main problems of human existence can be described as the problem of the relationship between man and society, between the individual and society. The turn of modern humanitarian thought, including philosophical thought, towards man requires a new look at this eternal confrontation and a deeper penetration into the nature of these problems in the form in which they manifest themselves in the modern world. The purpose - analyze the role, place of the body in traditional culture, and identify possible patterns in the perception of the body in the Russian philosophical tradition and in modern times. Correctly organized upbringing and education of the younger generation must correct the situation, help modern man find the “golden mean” and the path to harmonious development. It is necessary to overcome the problem of the modern approach to youth education, which only declares unity in the development of the spiritual and physical spheres of the individual, thereby leading to a disintegrating contradiction between the bodily limitations of the human body and the infinity of its sociocultural prerequisites, expressed as the sociocultural body. An individual who realizes an integrated culture of physicality maximizes the potential of a person as a being not only formed and perceiving, but also embodying the values of a cultural subject. Moreover, a person who fully possesses such properties is noticeably more inclined to further improvement and is capable of being significantly useful to society.
