The body shouldn't be defined in contrast to the soul or personality since that is a religious view point. The body should be defined independent of wether the soul is a part of the body or not. Materialist philosophy and holistic wievs see the soul and body as one. Biology of the brain and the chemical hormones of the body also indicate that the "soul" is a part of the body. Phenomenas such as ghost arms or motor memories in the spinal cord should also be considered. Additionally both modern religious persons and atheist are often toning down the difference between the mind and the body.
