“体育”本体论(三)——体育的本体和哲学矛盾

On the Essence of “Physical Education” Episode III:The Essence and Dilemmas of “Physical Education”

体育的生命力取决于是否有人去做,去实践,其本质很难用文字表达。这种体育的实践性与文字性表达的高度矛盾,正是体育在人类文明中具有的特殊之处。“体育的本体就是身体运动,即体育以身体运动本身为目的。”这样表达体育的本质既可以在操作性上排除被动运动、生活自理和工作等非体育,又可以在价值层上净化体育思想、保持体育的纯粹性。在哲学上,我们应处理好体育的两对矛盾:一、人的身体或意志谁是第一性的问题。二、“人”与“物”谁是第一性的问题。只有通过反复思考,我们才能从当今的体育现实中汲取一种智慧。

The life of ＂physical education＂ lies on whether there are people doing it, practicing it, it＇s hard for us to describe its nature with words. The high paradox between the practicalness and literal expression, is the speciality of ＂physical education＂ among different fields of human civilization. I prefer to express its nature this way： the essence of ＂physical education＂ is physical activity, in another sentence, ＂physical education＂ treats physical activity as its own prupose. Thus in technical criteria we can exclude passive activity, self- sufficiency, work, etc which are non- physical - education, and in the criteria of axiology we can purify sports thinking in modem world, keep ＂ physical education＂ as refined as possible. In philosophy, we should cope well with two pairs of dilemmas： First, between the body and soul within a man, which puts as the first.？ The second, between human and material, which puts as the first？ Through thinking it over and over, we will gain some wisdom from the sports reality of our society.
