The essay deals with the philosophic-anthropological concept of "man's self-realization" and its intellectual origins of German classical idealism. It discusses firstly Kant's moral doctrine deriving from his critique of traditional Christian theology. For him the only way to confirm God's existence is the deontological conduct and ethical practice of human beings. The treatise then expounds Fichte's claim of loyal devotion to one's spiritual ideas and conscientious activity in order to achieve one's fuller freedom. It follows the analysis of Schelling's philosophy of identity: Subject and object, man and nature, theory and practice are identical. Finally, the article illustrates Hegel's phenomenological study of human mind and its desperate journey to arrive at the ultimate stage of the absolute knowledge, as it means the self-knowledge of God at the same time the becoming of perfection of man as well as his self-realization. The implications of German classical idealist philosophy for sport activities are succinctly explicated in the conclusion.
