• W303907951 abstract "The central point of this paper is that period of the 19th century when new body whose origin is undoubtedly favoured by the rise of new sports movement, comes into existence. Developments in the philosophy of the 19th century begin to focus interest on concepts of body. One of the general representatives of this new trend is the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. During the same time period, the modern sports movement develops, reaching high point in 1896 with the renewal of the Olympic Games by Pierre de Coubertin. The strongly developing sports movement is thus accompanied by specific reflections on concepts of the body, in the field of philosophy. The purpose of this paper is to determine shared characteristics and differences, in the body concepts promulgated by Nietzsche and de Coubertin, respectively, in order to provide realistic and relevant statements about the future of man, especially the sportsman. Introduction The key issue of this paper is not discussion of the main parts of my research--a detailed comparison between Nietzsche's and Coubertin's Athlete--but of the results, and, in particular, the prospects that these results indicate. In order to understand the concepts that underlie the results, it is necessary to provide short summary of both thinkers' body concepts. (1) Let us begin with one of Nietzsche's most important and famous works, Thus Spake Zarathustra (2) (1883), where he espouses his vision of new body concept, vision of a body with considerable sagacity. (3) This means that there is no instrumentalisation of body by rationality or reason. For Nietzsche the human being has always been whole, unity in variety. In his understanding of body, in opposition to Descartes, there is no possibility of an analytic differentiation between and psychological abilities. The prototype of this vision is the The nature of man is to create extending beyond himself, and the direction of this surpassing is targeted at the Superman. I TEACH YOU THE SUPERMAN. Man is something that is to be surpassed. What have you done to surpass man?... The Superman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: The Superman SHALL BE the meaning of the earth! (4) In this perception man is shown as an open question and as being with an open structure whose purpose in life is to surpass himself. That means that man is free to decide which direction he will take. But for Nietzsche there is only one way he would take: the way to Superman. The Superman is able to create his own values; he has left behind all human values to create higher being. (5) Furthermore and according to Nietzsche, all life that means all being is in his nature to (6) This Will to power is the permanent self-conquest which never ends but always goes on and on beyond itself. The Will to power is to be understood as an energetic impulse emerging from all and every incident, and the Superman is nothing more than Will to power. However, in contrast, Coubertin refers to the Cartesian model: the separation of man into res cogitans and res extensa, but he reveals that both sides are absolutely the same and no side should be preferred. The unity of body and mind can only be realized in their symbiosis or synthesis, and that is the purpose of his Olympism. (7) Within his physical culture, (8) where his Olympic ideal is reflected, man will be pointed in the direction of mental, and moral perfection. Hence, it is the Athlete who is the prototype of human being because he is able to unite the huge variety of his abilities with the help of the Olympic ideal and its values. With the help of the metaphor of the (9) Coubertin tries to explain how difficult it is to find the balance between body and mind. The pendulum will always swing from one side to the other, it is always moving. Our task, the task of the Athlete, is to keep the pendulum as closely aligned with the centre as possible. …" @default.
