There is a permanent problematic relationship between the sport as a game, entertainment or training, and philosophy conceived as the care of oneself or self-knowledge: It can lead us away from, or, on the contrary, closer to answering the question: “Who we are?” This problematic relationship is exemplified by present-day sport which achieves two patterns: the form of fight on one hand and the form of a means of mass communication on the other. The critique of the sport as an alienating activity will not be of our concern. We will rather ask the question of the pattern of the constitution of our present.

The aim of the article is to show what place the fight (polemos) occupies in a broader context marked out by the theory of the political, political theology, and the criticism of modernity or modern human. On this basis the key role the fight plays in Schmitt’s political philosophy can be demonstrated. This role of the fight is then recognizable first of all in the correspondence between his critical cultural and juridical philosophical writings as well as on the background of Schmitt’s evaluation of his own spiritual condition as presented in particular in his diaries.

The problem of corporeality of heroes in the South Slav heroic epic is considered on the basic of the analysis of the series of songs from Kosovo about Royal Prince Marko and The Wedding of Maksim Crnojević. For comparison the old Russian and Ukrainian heroic songs (which are an example of East Slav epic) are included. Supernatural strength of plucky fellows, shown in the hyperbolical way, indicates the origin of these themes from the older legends and tales. In most cases the heroes’ appearance is replaced with the clothes description. Although sometimes the beauty, as it is in the case of The Wedding of Maksim Crnojević, plays the crucial role. The confrontation of the heroes of the song The Wedding of the King Vukašin is expressed as the number of metony-mies. The plucky fellows take care of their bodies and keep them clean. The most frequent way of showing the strength is the fight. The heroes use different kinds of weapons and also the body strength. The fights are cruel and sometimes they do not follow the rules of knight’s ethos.
