PHILOSOPHY
• Derived from the Greek word “Philosophia” –
“Love of wisdom”
• Contemporary philosophy: can be defined as
the systematic investigation of reality,
knowledge, and values
The Growing Interest in Philosophy
• Sport philosophy is a new area of study
• Rapid progress, retrogression or dubious progress in
the realm of social affairs have forced us to take stock.
However, it is next impossible to gain historical
perspectives on the rapid change that is taking place,
and unprecedented burden has been imposed to
understanding of ourselves and our world.
• Everywhere we see a need for research and then more
research.
• Our endeavor—accelerate scientific and technological
progress, and it becomes an exciting but vicious circle.
The Growing Interest in Philosophy
• There is a gap – more research –more questions to be answered and unanswered.
• The knowledge of the physical fields and the biological processes has vastly
exceeded the development of fundamental knowledge about human behavior
• Rapid progress, retrogression, or dubious progress in the realm of social affairs
have forced available for everyone on earth? We must learn quickly to EMPLOY
and DIRECT SCIENCE in the best possible to serve humanity.
• Question: can we manage the whole affair in such a way that wise and intelligent
decisions will be made in the light of the many scientific findings, and in such a way
that the good life will be available to everyone on earth?
• Thus, we encounter the question of the VALUES by which we live, and we have a
full circle to explain the upsurge of interest in PHILOSOPHY.
• To study the philosophy of Sport & PE (voluminous) versus the study employed
the structural analysis technique of philosophical research (brief). COMPROMISE: 2
QUESTIONS: What is the philosophical task? 2. How many philosophical
investigations are to be related to PE & Sports activities?
PHILOSOPHICAL TASK
• The are as any definitions of the philosophic
task as there philosophers. To gain consensus
is doomed to failure. The safest approach for
any “quasi philosopher”..simply to state
his/her opinion about philosophic task have
been developed from personal background
reading, experience, & association with others
of like interest.
PHILOSOPHICAL TASK
• Philosophers approach their work speculatively,
normatively, and analytically.
