| Description | This chapter deals with “the aesthetics of sport”—what it is, the history of its research, the context of its research, and its systematic structure. From the late 1970s to the 1980s, I grappled with the discipline of the aesthetics of sport through systematic consideration, which was the mainstream approach in the 1960s and 1970s in Japan. The aesthetics of sport is an aesthetics that sets sport as the object of consideration. Sport could not be regarded, however, as a topic of aesthetics in the tradition of the discipline. My project, therefore, must have been an innovation of aesthetics. Four problem areas in the aesthetics of sport were established: the aesthetic experience of the sports spectator, the aesthetic experience of the sports performer, the aesthetic object in sport, and the principle of the aesthetic value in sport. In this chapter, I present a rough investigation of a topic in the third problem area, which is a problem of the aesthetic in sports movements to show an example consideration of the aesthetics of sport. I interpreted that the aesthetic in sports movements is a phenomenal form of the essence of sports movements and a sort of functional aesthetic. The functional aesthetic in sport is connected with a value of vitality or liveliness. Book Name: Somaesthetics and the Philosophy of Culture |
