Abstract
MUJICA JOHNSON, Felipe Nicolás. On the philosophical discussion of the term physical education: an eclectic perspective. Dilemas contemp. educ. política valores [online]. 2021, vol.9, n.1, 00045. Epub Nov 03, 2021. ISSN 2007-7890. https://doi.org/10.46377/dilemas.v9i1.2876.
Modern physical education is a pedagogical activity that arises influenced by an idealistic philosophical perspective, which favored its hygienist and utilitarian approach. Over time this philosophical conception has been relativized, giving rise to a philosophical discussion where objectivist and subjectivist views clash. In this article, both conceptions are addressed, and a new conceptual look is included; specifically, the eclectic perspective that finds its philosophical bases in the phenomenological, existentialist, and realistic current. In this way, it is concluded that the physical environment of the human being responds to a synthesis between objective and subjective aspects, which can be educated intentionally and with greater prominence than in other educational processes.
