This paper aims to show how Anthony Giddens, who is one of the most famous sociologists in modern sociology, has coped with problems in constructing the sociology of the body. First, it is showed that he elaborated `body' as a theoretical concept and discussed theoretical points concerning it in the structuration theory (his general social theory). Second, through investigating his theory of modern societies, we find various aspects of body problems in high modernity, problems of body regimes and of the reproduction of the body. Third, by analyzing the contents of his textbook Sociology, which has been revised six times, we show details and particulars in the process in which he has constructed the sociology of the body.
