Welcome
back guys! Today I will be introducing to you another of many related branches
that Physical Education has. Today’s branch is Philosophy of Sports. This
branch studies, analyzes, and establishes some criteria for the solution of
problems and for the decision making through the use of logic and critical judgment.
Also, Philosophy of Sports can examine controversial topics, believes and
values related to sports participation and the Physical Education. This branch
is very important for sports; without it we would not be able to answers
questions that are often ask while we play sport or do physical activities.
Philosophy
of Sports is historically divided in 5 sub-disciplines. Those sub-disciplines
are: Metaphysics, Epistemology, Aesthetics, Ethics and Logic. All sports
philosophers use these 5 branches to resolve problems. For example, a basketball
player could overturn a call from the referee if he gets a personal foul by an opponent
but he insists that he did not get fouled off. In this example we can see how
this player ethics are. This is just an example, now think of all the other
range of issues or problems that can be related to the Philosophy of Sports. This
branch definitely helps sports and other activities from another point of view.
A point of view that no one sees or maybe do not care about. Philosophy of
Sports is a branch that has a lot to offer and we need to look more into this discipline
to benefit ourselves from it and use it to help others at the same time.
Here I left to you guys a video that contains a comparation of bad and good sports ethics.
