Mind and body versus Gymnastics and philosophy: from dualism to emergentism. (Mente-cuerpo versus filosofía-gimnasia: del dualismo al emergentismo)
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: The study of the connection between the mind and body has given rise to extremist, exclusive positions: mentalists and corporatists.A dualistic view has been installed in sport studies that both separates and complements the body and mind and, therefore, philosophy and gymnastics.Shifting this to broader terms (science and sport), we represent the conflict between that which is physical and that which is intellectual.We use two basic propositions to overcome this dualism: an understanding that "philosophy is an exercise for the mind" and that "gymnastics is a philosophy for the body".
