[[abstract]]Analyzing Pierre de Coubertin’s thought about Olympic Student：Chin-Ping Liu Professor：Jen-Siung Tsai Finishing Date：2002/7 Abstract Coubertin’s thought about Olympic had great influence on the development of the Olympic Games. The methodology the author adapts is personage thinking, and the author not only explicates the thought but analyzes from a critic angel. There comes the following conclusion: 1.Phyilosophy, imperialism, capitalism, body awareness, technology, and modernized sports in late 1900s have constructed the essential base to revive the Olympic Games. 2.Coubertin’s thought about Olympic derived from his background, and this included his blue blood, access to the English sport education and enlightenment from the history of the ancient Olympic Games. 3.Coubertin created a beautiful and esteemed sport palace by combining nationalism and the beauty of art. 4.Coubertin unknowingly fell into the trap of imperialism and class division. This was because: first, he advocated the Western sport culture from their standpoint; second, the competitive character of the Olympic Games provided a breeding ground for imperialists; third, he devised an unequal dominance relationship between NOC and IOC; and fourth, he forbade non-amateurs and women participating in the Olympic Games. 5.Coubertin’s thought about Olympic is not a kind of precise knowledge because of there existing lots of contradictions and unrealistic thoughts. 6. IOC and all people in the world should face the real world more pragmatically, respect every country’s sport culture and abandon dogmas, and the IOC should be consisted of NOCs. By achieving those, the IOC will advance toward a more globalized and more realistic realm. Keywords: Coubertin, IOC, Olympic, thought, sport
