Historical and Cultural Tracing of Mind-Body Monism and Philosophical Validation in Sports Philosophy
The concept of physical literacy encompasses a rich interpretation and understanding of mind-body monism,which is currently one of the most important philosophical perspectives on the unity of mind and body.However,the critical relationship between mind-body monism and sports studies has received limited attention,with most philosophical validation of physical literacy drawing from the phenomenological perspectives of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty,focusing on the metaphysics of embodied cognition.This paper employs Michel Foucault's archaeological method of humanistic scholarship to deconstruct the historical origins of mind-body dualism in ancient Greek civilization.It highlights the deconstruction and restoration of the Greek conceptions of the body,including the epic view,the aristocratic view,and the philosophical-religious view,along with their main theological purposes,namely the Dionysian doctrine and the Orphic doctrine.These perspectives form the historical philosophical structure of mind-body monism and dualism.The study argues that through the transition and critique of modern Kantian philosophy,Plato's mind-body dualism reveals its limitations in interpreting the movement of the soul.Consequently,within the context of contemporary sports studies,the philosophical validation of mind-body monism relies on Kantian thought and the problem of existence and thinking.It further critically validates the relationship between mind-body monism and sports studies through Kantian,Hegelian,and Marxist philosophies,thereby broadening the scope of sports philosophy itself.
