TO THE QUESTION OF THE CATEGORICAL-CONCEPTUAL APPARATUS OF PHYSICAL CULTURE OF THE PERSONALITY

Abstract

The article presents the results of theoretical research devoted to the problem of the categorical and conceptual apparatus development of the physical culture theory (a system of concepts reproducing different sides (meaning, significance, structure, etc.) of the object studied by science) from the positions of philosophical anthropology, culturology, semantics and linguistics. It has been suggested to use different approach to the basic concepts interpretation at the level of morphemes and semantic structures (word - word combination - thesis), which unite several scientific areas (anthropology, pedagogy, human and physical culture) and are available for understanding and wide use both in the scientific and professional community and in the lay community. Purpose of the study: theoretical justification of a new reading of the categorical and conceptual apparatus main definitions of the physical culture theory in the light of recent research on the basis of semantic analysis. Material and methods: the study uses methods of theoretical analysis, generalization and synthesis of published in Internet resources (scientific electronic libraries «eLIBRARY.RU», «CyberLeninka», electronic library system «Lan», electronic library of dissertations «disserCat», etc.) of scientific research in the field of pedagogy and physical culture theory. Results. The key word combinations built on the basis of semantic interrelations and semantic ranks allowed us to define the definitional cluster (a set of terms united by a generic concept) of the concept “physical culture” as “cultivation of human nature with the aim of its improvement” and to present it by the following chain of combined terms: physical culture → motor culture → nutrition culture → body culture → health culture. Consequently, from the culturological and anthropological positions, “personal physical culture” as an integrative concept is a set of cognitive, motor, gastronomic (or nutritional), bodily and valeological values that provide homeostasis of an individual (and, therefore, the human population as a whole) in the actual for a particular cultural-historical stage of society development in its inherent natural and socio-environmental conditions. Conclusions. Due to the newly discovered scientific knowledge and research approaches in philosophical anthropology

pedagogy and sociology of physical culture of the individual, the process of the categorical and conceptual apparatus formation of the physical culture theory cannot be static, it is dynamic. Consequently, it allows and requires from the modern scientific community timely adjustment of the basic terms interpretation and concepts according to the semantic canons relevant for a particular historical period, allowing more realistically reflect the connection of subject matter and the term, word combination or thesis representing it.
