Methods and structure of the study. Content analysis of publications on the socio-philosophical issues of physical education and sports in the journal «Theory and practice of physical education» for the period 2020-2024.
Results and conclusions. The study of physical culture and sports is mostly carried out in line with their practical use to substantiate training methods, principles and methods of training, education, ways of restoring the body and some other components. However, this field of activity has long gone beyond the boundaries of its main purpose and urgently requires a socio-philosophical understanding of its essence, content, orientation and development prospects, based on the specific conditions of existence of the individual and entire societies. Therefore, addressing the socio-philosophical problems of physical culture and sports is relevant and in demand, and will allow us to identify the most significant areas of discourse of those problems that are present in this field of activity and require their resolution.

Keywords: philosophy of sport, social and philosophical research, values, ethics, individual, society, crisis of civilization.
