Description

The central point of this paper is that period of the 19th century when a new body culture, whose origin is undoubtedly favoured by the rise of a 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 a 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.
