Summary/Abstract: The topic of the article is the place of human body in the discussion of discovering the answer to the question of human identity. It refers to the body, determined by sexuality, as a key to understanding the purpose and meaning of human existence. Through the original experience of solitude, unity and nakedness, Adam reveals the nuptial meaning of the body – that human person in the words of GS 24 “cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of himself.” These reflections lead us to the question of relatedness of human nature.
