Název v původním jazyce

The hero in victory and loss

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Every game and competition contains the suspense caused by the possibilities of winning or losing. The objective and purpose of this paper is to explain the importance of the concept of hero. This includes a discussion of the agon motive, that is the principle distinguished by interpersonal rivalry and by the process of the acceptance of challenges. First, we discuss the distinction between reaching for victory by rivalization and perfectionism. Second, we distinguish the phenomenon of a fair victory from the phenomenon of victory at any costs. Third, we show how this has resulted in a contemporary image of a one dimensional hero whose main goal is to achieve victory. And, fourth, we discuss how the archetype of a hero has changed from Homers hero whoconnects physical force with intellect and compassion, to a person who lives in only a physical dimension in order to achieve victory.
