Abstract: Concerning the evolution of "mode of thought", the query about the "nature of sport" in contemporary China was made.It suggests the controversy between the "being" and "existence" of sport among the Chinese scholars, as well as the "trade-off" between "analysis" and "existence" mode of thought in contemporary philosophy of sport.The conclusions were drawn that the certain mode based on some specific philosophical theory presented to be the process evolving from "western logic" to "Chinese wisdom".The Correspondence Theory in classical era, Anglo American Analytical Philosophy, and European continental philosophy influenced the concept of competitiveness in ancient Greece and contemporary mode of thought in the philosophy of sport, showing the analysis modes of "Analytic-Pragmatic", "Sociology-History", and "Phenomenology-Existentialism".Along with the decline of explanatory power and appearance of dilemma of concept in western logic, Chinese philosophy of sport, with its theoretical resource from western philosophy, is already taking shape in a more inclusive and developing "sophic" mode of thought, characteristic of "agreement between knowledge and action", which promotes the reconsideration on the relationship between sport science and philosophy, as well as the establishment of new concept and theory system.
