ABSTRACT

Since aesthetics, compared with the study of logic, was defined as the field of low recognition by A.G. Baumgarten(1714-1762) who considered it as ‘the study of emotional recognition(scientia cognotio aesthetica)’, and it was criticized by I. Kant(1724-1804), considered it as the independent study that intervened in two fields after became independent of the theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy related to the study of nature(the world of sense) and freedom(the world of reason)(Von der Kritik der Urteilskraft als einem Verbindungsmittel der zwei Teile der Philosophie zu einem Ganzen), aesthetics by its own study of method produced its own academic accomplishments for the fields of beauty, arts, and human being through aesthetics from over(Ästhetik von oben) and aesthetics from under(Ästhetik von unten), and phenomenological, ontological, sociological, psychoanalytic and psychological, structural approaches etc.. It is notorious that aesthetics as the philosophy of art in the meaning of tradition brought the sciences of arts in general as well as the science of arts(Kunstwissenschaft) since expanded its study to the individual genres in arts. In the present age such the quantitative and qualitative growth of aesthetics goes forward to the study of inter-disciplinary of other academic fields based on the choice of terms and concepts used in the field of aesthetics on its own study. Accordingly, as I focused on ‘Openness and the inter-disciplinary of the contiguous Fields of Aesthetics․the Philosophy of Art’ among the main subject ‘Aesthetics․the Philosophy of Ar and Now, Here’ that is the theme of this institute, I searched on how aesthetics is possible in the fields of physical education and dance related to human being's movements and how the philosophy of art as the traditional aesthetics forms in the contiguous fields such as physical education and dance in the concrete. I focused on the present understanding of physical education and dance while searched on how the general aesthetics and ideologies of the philosophy of art were accepted and developed in the accomplishments in both the past and present ages in two fields. In order to meet the study’s needs I drew a comparison between the domestic achievements and foreign achievements in the same fields of physical education and dance. For the domestic achievements I used the materials from the Korean Philosophic Society for Sport and Dance that is being studied in the present time and ‘Humanities & Social Sciences’ in the journals Journal of Korean Philosophic Society for Sport and Dance, Journal of Korean Society of Dance, and The Korean Journal of Physical Education made by the Korean Society of Dance and among the fifteen departments under the Korean Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. With the consequence that I could confirmed that the studies of physical educations, sports, and dances for theoretical formation in aesthetics are remained stationary though the aesthetic study on the physical education is worthy of close attention in the quantity and quality. Therefore, in order to achieve the academic authority with aesthetics of physical education, sports, and dances under the mother-body of physical education rather than subordinated to the mother-body, aesthetics of physical education in the broad sense should clarifies itself for producing the aesthetic values while harmonizes as a form of culture based on its own academic methodology and while doing do aesthetics of physical education can find its own identity and phase as aesthetics of human body. With the concept of preexisting ‘Body Culture(Körper Kultur)’-an overall designation that was formed by a medium of body's activities for discipling the body for better life-that includes physical education and sports and at the same time that is a controversy among others in the field of physical education I formulated ‘aesthetics of human body’ that includes physical education, sports, and dances. In the formulation I emphasized that physical education in the broad sense can be formed as the triple parts of ‘body aesthetics․sport aesthetics․dance aesthetics’ those ‘constitute culture after all while becoming the history as putting oneself with the body language on record’. In this way I confirmed that body aesthetics as the far-reaching aesthetics of physical education can be variable to the fields of ‘natural beauty․technical beauty․artistic beauty for the conditions of body beauty․sport beauty․dance beauty’.
