From the first day of the birth of human, there is a body, the human exploration of the body has experienced a long process. Descartes puts consciousness and body in opposite in philosophy of consciousness, after a long period of time, the body is regarded as "the other". Nietzsche celebrates body in extreme way, which shakes philosophy of consciousness of derogatory body and its tradition, after that, many theorists inherited and developed the Nietzsche’s subjective body. Along with the rise of postmodernism, the subjective body is stroked again, which one is more important in the body and consciousness is always been a controversial problem in theorists, there are some scholars tried to seek the way to combine the diversity of body and consciousness in the present theoretical discourse.
