Championing Physical Cultural Sciences
The term “physical culture” is, first of all, associated (referring to the etymology of the word “culture” from the Latin “colo,-ere”, meaning “to cultivate”, “to inhabit” or “to honor”) with cultivation and taking care of the human “physis” – obviously in the context of social and natural environment. What matters in physical cultural reflection is not movement as such – as a purely physical phenomenon – but only such a form of movement which ha…
Hegelian Phenomenology of Spirit and Boxing Fight
In the presented text the author points out to anthropological as well as axiological foundations of the boxing fight from the viewpoint of Hegel’s philosophy. In the genial idealist’s views it is possible to perceive the appreciation of the body, which constitutes a necessary basis for the man’s physical activity, for his work oriented towards the self-transformation and the transformation of the external world, as well as for rivalry and the ha…
Moderato
The text characterizes the master-disciple relationship, which is interpreted in a historical context (of ancient Greece) and the contemporary one. In the first case it refers to the connection taking place between Socrates and his disciples (and especially between him and Plato). In the second case the author presents a study of one case of a supposed master-disciple relationship as a typical case study. He comes to a conclusion that the occurre…
Karate
Introduction The following paper is a case study developed to investigate the possible relationship between mirror neurons and karate. In karate, athletes are often trained to anticipate the opponent’s movement and to consider their emotions (Dosil 2006). This kind of training and skill may be linked to the concept related to mirror neurons, which are connected to the identification of the intention behind an action and are involved in a sort of …

Aleatorism and Sporting Performance
A sporting spectacle is an important cultural event, essentially influencing social and individual lives. In spite of this, there does not yet exist a monograph that analyzes, describes, and explains sporting performance from the point of view of aleatorism as part of the theory of sport and physical culture. Unfortunately, no monograph has developed this issue in a multi-aspectual, holistic, culturological, and philosophical way, dealing with it…

Pilgrimage
Can intrinsic religious motivation have relevant effects on the motor activity of older people? How are processions and pilgrimages related to the dominant imagination of old age as a period of fatigue and gray hair, suffering and loneliness, retirement and rest – and of waiting: waiting for a call from a loved one, waiting for the visit of a good companion, or, finally, expecting the end of life? This study is based on interviews with people fro…
Sport – In Praise of Doping on its Usefulness and Necessity
The author points out that in contemporary competitive, record oriented, professional, spectacular, top-level sport, elite sport, marketability sport or Olympic sport – whose beginnings should be dated to the turn of the 19 th and the 20 th century – mistaken decisions, which inhibited development of the abovementioned forms of sport, took place. Primarily it was restricted to circle of financially well-off gentlemen, women’s participation was fo…

Considerations on Relation between Philosophy of Sport and Common Sense Thinking
The purpose of this presentation is not to elaborate on the meaning of the common sense thinking and common sense in relation to cognition sensu stricto that is, in relation to scientific cognition. This topic has already been sufficiently covered in a concise and synchronous way. The focus of this presentation is mainly on selective manifestations of common sense thinking and their penetration of the philosophy in general, as well as the philoso…
Professional, Spectator, and Olympic Sports in the Context of the Terms Spiritualism and Spirituality , and in the Context of Normative Ethics
The author has used - in his paper - two different expressions related to spirituality in its entirety: that is, spirituality (the spiritual sphere in superficial sense and meaning) and spiritualism (the spiritual sphere in deep sense and meaning). The author presented selected different definitions and manifestations of spirituality and spiritualism . The considerations on so-called “spirituality” - related to different phenomena of culture - wi…
New Paradigm
In this work, the author focuses in particular on aggressive behavior in competitive sports (highly ranked professional, spectator, and Olympic sports) and on the behavior of fans accompanying sporting events. Aggression in sports, when considered from the point of view of the regulations in specific disciplines, has two main variants. The first variant is necessary aggression, which is both instrumental and non-instrumental and is potential in t…
Why Pluralism, Relativism, and Panthareism
In reference to the monograph entitled “Sports and Ethics: Philosophical Studies”, published in the “Physical Culture and Sport. Studies and Research” quarterly (2014, vol. 62), and in particular in reference to the paper entitled “The Normative Ethics and Sport” (Kosiewicz, 2014, pp. 5-22), the article presents new and at the same time supplementary views on the relationships between sports and normative ethics. The main objective of the paper i…
Foul Play in Sport as a Phenomenon Inconsistent with the Rules, yet Acceptable and Desirable
The article has strictly a theoretical and non-empirical character. The author presents examples resulting from various observations. The aim of the paper is to present the causes, functions, and results of fouls, fouling, and foul play. Although fouls do not comply with the rules of games, the paper demonstrates that fouls are often used; they enjoy a quiet acceptance of the sporting world; they are tolerated and accepted; even more, they are of…
Normative Ethics and Sport
This article constitutes a strictly cognitive and completely non-ideological moral (or rather, amoral) manifesto that makes no value judgments. The article concerns relationships that, according to sport enthusiasts with varying levels of competence, occur between sport and normative ethics. The author of this article supports a standpoint he terms ethical negationism that rejects the need for moral rules to externally support and bolster the rul…
The Ethical and Legal Context of Justifying Anti-Doping Attitudes
The reflections presented in the paper are not normative (in general, it can be said, that they do not create moral values and demands). The presented reflections particularly stress the sense, essence, meaning, and identity of sport in the context of moral demands. A disquisition pointing out that sports and sport-related doping can be situated beyond the moral good and evil must be considered precisely as metaethical, and leads in a consciously…
Sport and Social Deviations - a Prognostic Attitude
The author focuses his attention first of all on social deviations which play a negative role in highly competitive sport. He tries to define - from the viewpoint of philosophy - how they will influence its future form. He proclaims that in philosophy there are at least two options: a. the one negating justifiability of philosophical statements on the future, b. the one affirming that justifiability - after Aurelius Augustine and Hegel. The autho…
Scientific Tourism, Aspects, Religious and Ethics Values

These peregrinations require extra effort, not only with regards to tea…
Western Sport and Spiritualism
Sport activity of achievement-oriented (professional, Olympic, spectacular character) is first of all exposition of rivalry and striving for variously understood sports success (resulting from measurable or discretionary criteria). It refers to winning a competition or taking another expected place as well as to other forms of satisfaction, such as financial gratification or social (political, ethnic, professional) recognition. Spirituality is he…
Sport beyond Moral Good and Evil
Sport is - and should be - an amoral phenomenon (what should not be confused with an immoral one); that is, a phenomenon which is completely independent from ethics, except of, possibly, deontological ethics which concerns professionals who have professional obligations towards their employers and other persons who are provided with and influenced by their services. Conduct according to rules of a given sport has no moral character. It has only p…
Sport and Art
A certain tradition of philosophical considerations on the interrelation between sport and art has already been established. According to Tim L. Elcombe (Elcombe, 2012, p. 201), such considerations on the subject first appeared in English-language literature in the 1970s and 1980s, and were fruitful. Usually, they appear together with questions on the aesthetic properties of sport - in this case, a special issue of the Journal of the Philosophy o…

Foul Play in Sport as a Phenomenon Inconsistent with the Rules, yet Acceptable and Desirable
Foul Play in Sport as a Phenomenon Inconsistent with the Rules, yet Acceptable and Desirable Author considers assumptions related to foul play in sport as a phenomenon, that affect the body, psyche, or relationships - various social involvements, conditionings, and determinants of those involved with that particular form of athletic activity. This includes fouls committed on and off the field, as well as those not even related to a particular gam…
The anthropological background of the philosophical reflection on nature and tourism
The first part of this paper deals with the question whether there actually is a "philosophy of tourism", and, in connection with this, with the criteria that constitute a certain field in philosophy. After this methodological reflection, the relationship of philosophical reflections on tourism and nature on one hand and anthropology on the other are analysed, stating that philosophical reflection on nature has a strictly anthropological characte…
Tourism and sacrum
The author points out – using as an example the views of Mariusz Zaruski, Polish mariner and mountaineer from the turn of the nineteenth century – that reflexive and philosophizing wanderers, roaming around various outdoor tracks, perceive nature in its threefold connections with sacrum, namely in its religious, para-religious and non-religious relations with it. They come to such a viewpoint by axiologization, which consists in ascribing various…
Considerations on General Methodological Assumptions of the Sciences of Sport
The considerations included in the article are the result of several years of teaching general methodology for doctoral studies at Josef Pilsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw.

The second presents a wide panorama of standpoints concerning functions and kinds of hypotheses, their role and significance in contempo…

Social and Biological Context of Physical Culture and Sport
Social and Biological Context of Physical Culture and Sport Author underlines that biological sciences connected with the human being are traditionally - after MacFadden, among others - counted among physical culture sciences. Because of the bodily foundations of human physical activity, they perform - shortly speaking - a significant cognitive function: they describe natural foundations of particular forms of movement. In spite of the fact that …

Free Time versus Occupied and Unoccupied Time in a Philosophical Context
In the paper, previous conceptions of free time and the various definitions that are connected with it are challenged. The author assumed that the subject might not have free time at his/her disposal, because that time does not concern the subject at all. The subject did not have free time in the past; the subject can neither shape it in the present nor in the future. Free time does not concern him/her at all, because free time as such does not e…

Social Sciences and Common Perceptions of Sport
This paper provides a discussion on various aspects and features of the concept of the social sciences of sport. The concept originated recently and was formulated in 2007 during the preparations for the establishment of the International Society for the Social Sciences of Sport.

The Social Sciences of Sport
New national and international societies that examine sports have been created and developed in Europe as well as on other continents.

The authors of the paper point to the significa…
