History

Most people know the Olympic Games are ancient so we shouldn't be surprised there is a lot of history to find out about. The Paralympic Games are more recent but have their own story to tell. Did you know they began in the UK? Finally, this is the third time London has hosted the games so the UK has its very own Olympic tradition.
The modern Olympic Games were revived in its sporty appearance in 1896 by Pierre de Coubertin and until today still practiced.
In 1829 the French government, and in 1875, the German government, was excavated to unearth Olympia. In 1881 the ruins were completely bare.
Although always spoken of the revival of the Olympic Games, the fact is attributed to France and Pierre de Coubertin is called the father of the modern Olympic Games, the truth is that the first attempt was made in Greece, thanks to the enthusiasm of a Greek called Gospels Zappas, long before it was thought in France. So in Greece made the first modern Olympic Games on 15 November 1859, November 15, 1870, May 18, 1875 and May 18, 1889.
The attempt failed due to lack of enthusiasm and support from other countries. Another important factor was that the sponsor did not have many ideas of organization, unlike the Baron de Coubertin, who sought a school athletic leaders, college and amateur in the world, who received his help.
Lighting the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City 2002Emocionado with the splendor of ancient Greece and the beauty of the Olympics, Zappas Gospels, who lived in Romania, first contributed to the project and after first failure, at his death bequeathed his entire fortune to the revival of the Olympic Games in Greece.

Biography - Emmanuel Kant

Immanuel Kant (German pronunciation; 22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher from Königsberg in Prussia (today Kaliningrad, Russia) who researched, lectured and wrote on philosophy and anthropology during the Enlightenment at the end of the 18th century.[1]
Kant's major work, the Critique of Pure Reason (Kritik der reinen Vernunft, 1781),[2] aimed to unite reason with experience to move beyond what he took to be failures of traditional philosophy and metaphysics. He hoped to end an age of speculation where objects outside experience were used to support what he saw as futile theories, while opposing the skepticism of thinkers such as Berkeley and Hume.
