Abstract
O desporto, enquanto evento social proeminente na sociedade contemporânea capaz de mobilizar milhões de pessoas em todo o Planeta, afigura-se ao investigador como um objeto de estudo relevante e curioso. Isto porque, não só constitui uma atividade central nas sociedades contemporâneas como é um dos fenómenos mais massificados do século XX e XXI.
Este trabalho pretende procurar e obter algumas respostas para o papel nuclear que o desporto parece possuir, através das ideias de homeostasia do neurobiologista António Damásio e das ideias de conatus do filósofo Bento de Espinosa.
Sport, as a prominent social event in contemporary society capable of mobilizing millions of people around the world, emerges to the researcher as a relevant object of study. This is because it is not only a central activity in contemporary society, but also one of the most popular phenomena in the 20th and 21st century. This paper aims to find and obtain some answers to the nuclear function that sport possesses, through the ideas of homeostasis of the neurobiologist Antonio Damásio and through the conatus ideas of the philosopher Spinoza
