5. Scientific interests

While speaking on Professor Kosiewicz’s scientific interests in a synthesizing way one can proclaim that he carries out researches mainly in the fields philosophical anthropology (conceming sources and transformations of Christian conceptions of the body), philosophy of religion, generał methodology and philosophy of physical culture and sport. He has considered also issues connected with cultural and educational aspects of tourism and recreation.

He has numerously presented new interpretations of petrified issues and assumptions, controversial in their relation towards earlier viewpoints. It refers to negation of the existence of the philosophy of sport as an independent and maturę (in the content-related sense) discipline, to total rejection of the conception of free time in its philosophical (e.g. Aristotelian) and non-philosophical interpretation and replacing it with a conception of time which is occupied in every moment of human life or any other living creature’s life. It refers also to challenging of apotheosizing the fair play principle in sport, financial disinterestedness of the International Olympic Committee, Olympic education as allegedly the most important source of educational values and an ideological, as a matter of fact, conception assuming that Olympic sport is something morę than sport.

In the rangę of Professor Kosiewicz’s interest there have been, among others, axiological problems connected with looking for and researching the source, sense, manifestations and influence of values in physical culture and sport. He has also dealt with issues from the field philosophical anthropology analyzing human being in the light of the dynamie theory of man and interpreting the subject as a being composed of three ontic layers: the relational (social) one, the ideał (mental) one and the materiał (bodily) one. It created a basis for formulation - on the ground of the philosophy of physical culture - a conception of personality and health of ontic and phenomenal status, conceived as beings which appear or
