아리스토텔레스의 질료형상설과 반도핑 연구

Abstract

This study has explored anti-doping problems awaiting solution in modern sport through the main ideology of Aristotle. Such attempt suggests theoretical basis of philosophy of sport that doping is an immoral behavior based on philosophical thoughts of Aristotle. Moreover, this is a part of effort to inherit and develop thoughts of Aristotle. This study has been proceeded with examining literatures of Aristotle such as 『Metaphysics』, 『De Anima』 as well as Aristotle related documents, and following conclusions were made: Hylemorphismus and Doping Problem. In main idea of Aristotle, relationship between matter(hyle) and form(eidos), dynamis and energeia, and mind(spirit) and body was found to be mutual rather than comparison. Moreover, in appropriate matter, the function of a saw and an ax is to cut a tree well, most appropriate matter for a saw and an ax was explained to be iron rather than gold or silver. In sport, most appropriate body(matter) is a body resulting from systematic training under a coach or a manager, and the effort put in by the athlete. On the contrary, a doped body is not an appropriate body for sport. Because doping means injecting prohibited drugs or materials inside the body which enhances human ability, it functions better like an artificial heart compared to a natural heart, but it makes the body artificial also because the body depends on the prohibited substance. In the end, to Aristotle, the best and most appropriate body is the one made with hard training and effort alone.
