EPISTEMOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF SCIENTIFIC COGNITION THE PHILOSOPHY OF SPORTS
The article deals with the epistemological problems of scientific knowledge of the philosophy of sports. Physical education and sports are areas of modern society that are of paramount importance for its further development. The theoretical and methodological basis of modern sport begins with the study of its historical development, during which the ontological status of sport in society is considered. The analysis of social processes shows the influence of the sphere of physical education and sports on the social institutions of society. The philosophy of sports is a young philosophical discipline, the task of which is to go beyond the scientific object and study the social nature and values of sports activities. The philosophy of sport is at the stage of post-non-classical scientific rationality, which is based on the sociologization of knowledge. In this regard, sport is considered, on the one hand, as an important sphere of society. On the other hand, as a social institution, the task of which is the socialization of the athlete's personality, both in the conditions of mass sports and in high performance sports. The authors, based on the analysis, in the philosophy of sports can be divided into several stages, considering the epistemological problems of scientific knowledge of the philosophy of sports.
