Abstract
The epistemological turn that began in the mid-twentieth century has promoted studies on presence that have been understood in various ways, one of which is the presence of the body in cognitive processes. Without pretending to exhaust the subject or suppose that it is the only possibility to approach it, the objective of this text is to reflect on it from the work of Jean Chateau, seen in the light of the contributions of Mark Johnson, to observe the depth of the appeal’s implication to the presence of the body, as well as notes that are directed towards understanding the aesthetic from this perspective, a topic that has not yet been fully addressed.
