It was the purpose of the present study to explore thoughts and lines of reasonings concerning body perspectives in school. Based on students at a secondary school and on analyses of the curricula of the school, I reason about how we see the human being and the importance of it in school. In the introduction I start out from observations and highlight the body as a communicative channel leading up to the issue of students’ basic view of man as integrated or devided in body and soul. A study of twelve interviews of students shows that thoughts about the two perspectives had not been identified until now but that a great deal of interest existed for discussion on this subject. The definition of the basic outlook as dualistic or phenomenological is not clarified in the curriculum which means there is a scope of interpretation. The study makes clear that neither the students nor the curriculum have a well-reasoned and common starting-point. The study is about an overall view and highlights the different views and thoughts about the development of school. It is an holistic approach and an attempt to grasp body perspectives like body language, human deversity, experience, the way we use the spoken language, the complexity of our reason and actions. Perspectives that may affect our own view on the human being where our consciousness has a central role.
