본 硏究는 헤겔의 歷史哲學的 思想을 토대로 世界體育史의 中心인 絶對精神 즉, 體育史는 哲學的 로고스(Logos)를 찾기 위해 진행되었다. 헤겔은 역사에 대해 歷史的 現實과 歷史的 知識은 時間上 性格上 同一하다는 생각을 갖고 있었다. 그래서 歷史는 自然과 人間事와 人間 行爲안에서 그 자신을 표현해내는 精神의 實在라는 것이다. 그는 이를 이해시키기 위해서 辨證法을 이용하였다. 즉 역사에 있어서 오류나 모순 등은 역사를 침체시키는 것이 아니라 正이나 合을 완성시키는 원동력임을 강조하였던 것이다. 헤겔의 역사 철학을 기초로 世界 體育史를 고찰해본 결과 그리이스 時代에 精神과 近代 올림피즘을 선택하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각되었다. 왜냐하면 이 두개의 영역이 체육에 중심체가 될 수 있는 충분한 여력이 있다고 판단됐기 때문이다. 그리이스 시대에 있어 卓越性의 槪念은 다른 시대의 그것과는 본질적으로 다른 神的인 능력까지 추구했다는 결과를 얻게 되면서 이것이 곧 近代 올림피즘의 뿌리가 되어있음을 찾아낼 수 있었다. 이는 근대 올림픽이 현재 世界 平和와 參加가 여타의 것보다 강조되는 시점에서 論者는 그리이스 시대에 존재했던 탁월성의 개념을 창출해내려는 순수한 競技 精神이 더 우선되어야 함을 지적하게 되었다. 즉 첨예한 기록을 위해서 경쟁 속에서 최선을 다하는 과정에서 스포츠맨쉽이 바탕을 이룰 경우 헤겔이 주장했던 건전한 自由精神이 형성될 것이며 이것이 人類 平和에 더 강도 있게 기여할 것임을 확신시켜 주었다. 그러므로 이 두시대를 양축으로 連結시키는 體育史는 이러한 스포츠적 精神이 中心體이며 出發點으로서 자리잡아야 하며 體育史적 絶對精神도 卓越性의 槪念으로 定立되어야만 한다.

I got these results in this study with purpose for search Logos of the world history of physical education, namely the absoluteness-spirit in the core of the world history of physical education based upon the Hegel’s history-philosophical thought, as follow. Hegel was the greatest philosopher in modern. He emphasized "the history was demonstrated by a fact, but it not a passive reception", with insist on the history burst in the history. He had the thought that the historical actuality and the historycial knowledge equal in time and in character. And then, He insisted that the history was an actual being of spirit in manifest itself among the natural world, the human history and the human’s deed. He made use of the dialectic for comprehend of it. He emphasized that these a fallacy or a inconsistency in the history not depressed of the history, but the motive power completed the righteousness or the sum. I divided the longitudinal inquiry and the horizontal inquiry the Hegel’s history-philosophy in the methodology, the former was the developmental process of human’s freedom-possession, the latter divided the fundamental history(die urspru¨nglich Gesehichte), the reflection history(die reflektierte Geschichte), the philosophical history(die philosophische Geschichte), and then explained. This study grafted the historical thought presented for third time together the world history of physical education, and then, I seek for a new meaning and value of the history of physical education. Because the Hegel’s history-philosophical thought taken hope that we could sought these values of new dimension in materials of the history of physical education got by all these fact and events in the historical process. I selected two among these times, after consider with based the thinking nous of the history-philosophical thought presented by Hegel on the world history of physical education, these are the greece age and the modern’s Olympism. Because I decided that these, two field had a surplus strength could be the core body of physical education. I understood that the excellence-conception of the Greeks different from other age it essentially, after had thought of the Greece age. The excellence-conception of them not pursued after the human competition, but the God’s capability, and this conception of excellence have being the root and trunk. But I thought that it in sport became weakened by more emphasized the world-wide peace and participation relatively according to international condition, at that time the rebirth of the modem Olympic game. For that reason, I insist that the core of Olympism must be priority an athletic meeting conceptually, also being based on sportsmanship in the best effort for victory, Here, I thought that the real freedom-spirit by it, ultimately, this spirit contributed to the human peace more intensely. Therefore, this the history of physical education immanented Olympism was the core body and the starting point of sport-spirit, for that reason, also the history of physical education-absoluteness spirit must be thesis with "a nature of excellence"
