摘要

The hypothesis to be verified explains why bodily asceticism is excluded, owing to theinfluence of the ideologist, from the system of public health in the structure of a liberalcratocracy, in which reason is the good of the authority for its own sake. In the structureof national society, the system of bodily asceticism is raised to the status of communitygood. Despite the blocking of the connectivity of the system of bodily asceticism to thesocial structure, academic gymnasions survived the collapse of the state. Each of themindependently excused itself with the idealess reason of the market in physical services,the undoubtedly important reason for the private network of fitness clubs but failed to meetthe expectations of the fraction of the community of scholars who constantly aspire to fulfilpublic tasks relevant to the cultural community of the nation. Modernising the system ofbodily asceticism located by the authorities, within the structure of public health, can beachieved with the participation of both philosophers and teachers of physical culture.
