Summary

For an elevation of childhood in thought and reflection: Crossing the doors of universality 

This issue merges multiple aspirations, both in thought and in action. From the point of view of reflection, particular attention is paid to the question of the child and childhood and from a philosophical point of view, opening up to the possibilities of criticism and curiosity that will only be accessible by crossing the doors that allow its living conditions not constituting an obstacle between mental and behavioral well-being. However, reality makes the questioning of preparation essential, encouraging awareness of the abundant power of childhood in terms of physical health, freedom from disabilities, and social health, freeing oneself from the shackles of abundance in everyday life, allowing the child to achieve integration and facilitate communication through various means of the era.

However, this is impossible, to monopolize it only in the service of thinking in the child's world. The child is the actor of the future and contributes to it. Among the ways to preserve one's role, it is necessary to take care of one's physical health in parallel with one's mental and intellectual health. Thus, the question of sport and the renewal of energy for the mind through the body become a methodical necessity in the organization of the content of this edition, following the arrangements of the body, offering the possibility of entertainment and openness to another that we can only know through the deliberation of the games of mind and body.

The game is based on the body, and the latter is a human machine characterized by several traits and qualities that testify to man's presence in the world, among which walking and running express his competence and strength in competition, that is to say in achieving physical equality with other bodies, and in interaction with a world where reason cannot leave the slightest presence.

The phenomenological testimony of this presence lies in the consideration of the body as an entry to achieve an initial correspondence and empathy in the process of rational communication, which means that the mind does not begin with what is mental, but with what is corporeal. Thus, all idealistic assumptions that the body is marginalized as an insignificant entity in the recording of presence through movement collapse.

Sport is a form of challenge in the face of death by getting rid of diseases. It represents a path to prolong life and preserve the vitality of the body, defying immobility and the tendency to degradation and destruction: death. This means that he is one of the greatest affirmations of life against the greatest affirmations of death, contradicting the idea that man is destined to die.

“ I hold you, oh nothingness”    Nietzsche mocks Flaubert, who only writes when he is sitting down. Flaubert neglects movement, forgetting that his body is also thinking. The noblest movements of thought come from the body: dancing, lightness, agility, climbing mountains and harmony with birdsong... rather than submit to the motionless thought. The sporty and agile body defies the boring static metaphysics that drowns in the abysses of motionless nothingness, slowly moving towards a slow death. Movement is a hope and a contemplation by the body, a catharsis.

The tendency of this edition is manifested in the effort of oneself to respect the achievements of education and training as essential elements to shape a tolerant generation, repelling violence and respecting the laws both spiritually and legally. This constitutes a fundamental condition for being a citizen, capable of understanding philosophical and cultural lessons, thus making him more inclined to interact with foreign civilizations in a civilized way. However, he remains proud of preserving national memory and knowledge of the sources of history, while maintaining a stable national identity that does not dissolve in the gaze of the other, without abandoning the principles and basics. This stems from the awareness of geographical space, historical time, and the values of geography combined with history.
