Abstract	Paulo Freire left behind a rich legacy that speaks passionately to the relationship of the body to humanizing praxis. This legacy encompasses a pedagogical perspective that focuses on the primacy of the body in the construction of critical knowledge. Freire's ideas also point to the importance of the materiality of body to a pedagogical process informed by a humanizing ethos that supports reflection, dialog, and solidarity in the flesh, as we labor for the common good. As teachers and students participate in the dialogical process of communal learning, the body and the mind must be understood as rightful allies in the formation, expression, and evolution of collective consciousness. Of this, Freire (1983) argued, "true education incarnates the permanent search of people together with others for their becoming fully human in the world in which they exist" (96). With these ideas in mind, this article considers some of the salient ways in which the body is central to Freire's humanizing praxis--a praxis fundamentally grounded in a larger revolutionary project for liberation.
