Therefore it is hardly possible to describe any integral metaolympic picture: it is more expediently to accent separate, situation significant sides of the Olympism: the philosophy, the anthropology, the education. The Olympism as the metaphysics of sports and the philosophy of culture. The term "Olympism", widely used in the modern language, is multiple-valued enough. Therefore we shall be limited to conceptual aspect of the contents of the term "Olympism", as in modern cultural tradition it is used for the designation of the doctrine, given the beginning to the Olympic movement. The Olympism as the philosophical anthropology. The Olympic charter is constituting the Olympism as the specific philosophy of life. The Olympic philosophy of life is original: if in the traditional philosophy of life anthropologycal intentions are not shown, the Olympism, calling itself by philosophy of life, declares anthropologycal essence of it's ideological aspirations. The Olympism as the philosophy of education. The philosophical anthropology of the Olympism founding the appropriate pedagogical anthropology, because the original purpose of the Olympic movement consists if the promoting of the best world construction by the education of youth with the sport.
