This work provides a fundamentally new perspective on the human body. The human body, this actively functioning system, is seen in the pages of this book as a hierarchical structure in which inverse relationships - "inverted", reversed vector relationships in the hierarchy - are of paramount importance. It is these links that constitute the essence of human individuality and which distinguish the dead scheme of conditional hierarchy from the real, living human body. The paper traces the systemic nature of inversive structures and shows their manifestations in the animal world, as well as historical variability in the human population. The human body, as shown in this paper, is a particular, but at the same time the most striking example of an inverse hierarchical system. Thanks to the inverse connections, the human body does not constitute something separate from its abstract "soul"; soul and body are united by these connections into a single whole. The book is of interest to philosophers, psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as students of the natural sciences and humanities.
