Abstract

This article analyzes the historical variations of both pre-theoretical and theoretical thoughts of “incompleteness” and demonstrates the consequences that have led man to the state of incompleteness. In the new era, especially in the 20th century when it when it so happened that mankind reached a point where it is impossible to produce fullness incompleteness began to be expressed in social practices with a greater sense of ambivalence ever known since the Middle Ages. The science and art in the 20th century is unthinkable without division and re-construction of the human body in psychoanalysis, which reveals that man is the place for body and soul. Physical incompleteness, as reconstructing material in art and literature, is widely used as an aesthetic means of contemporary art. In the second half of the 20th century following the disappearance of contemporary art, the human body was absent, which was proved over a matter of time.
