Hlavní my lenkou následujícího sdělení je stru né srovnání dvou my lenkovych koncepcí, sokolství a olympismu. Toto srovnání má poskytnout stru ny p ehled o my lenkové koncepci sokolské filozofie, která provází eskou spole nost daleko p edtím, ne vznikl samostatny eskoslovensky stát, a také dlouho p ed tím, ne se poda ilo obnovit novodobé olympijské hry. Pozornost je kladena na analyzu sokolské filozofie, která se v mnohém shoduje s my lenkovou koncepcí novodobého olympismu. Nutno v ak íci, e hlavně v sou asnosti m e byt sokolská filozofie ur itym my lenkovych vychodiskem pro situaci, kterou sociologové nazyvají 'krizí olympismu'. [The Sokol philosophy as a typically Czech socio-cultural phenomenon is, not only from the point of view of its main thought, essentially adherent to the Olympism idea and movement, but we also find here stimuli, resources, ways of relating and standards, which preceded modern Olympism. Sokol is a philosophy which has been presented and still presents itself to us via the Czech Sokol Society (COS). The Sokol idea is based on the general national profile of citizens, their culture, identity, quality and ideals. Sokol is a way to perceive and comprehend the world and focuses on being human in the ontological sense of the word. The problem of responsibility arises, as it does with the bringing into reality of every great idea. If Sokol is responsible for the national moral profile of citizens, then Olympism is responsible for the nations as a complex. Responsibility in the sense of a whole can be expressed using the Greek term Areté. Basically the goal is, through training the human body, to achieve a state of harmony with the human soul. To be wholly responsible in the sense of self-overlapping to achieve a whole. Old Greek expressed this harmony as Kalokagathia. Sokol and Olympism are, in principle, forms of Areté. That is why we are concerned with that whole and fill it with such a content as to return it to its original position of esteem and respect - Areté.]
