The aim of this essay is to reflect on the relevance of Inezil Penna Marinho's ideas concerning the relationship between physical education, sports, and hedonism in contemporary society. The research that led to this essay is theoretical in nature, and the methodology employed is essentially bibliographic. As a result, at least two meanings of hedonism were identified, one of which, in Marinho's (1984) text, is linked to the philosophical tradition that dates back to Epicurus. It is in this sense of hedonism—along with its developments in modern psychology and pedagogy—that the concept and function of physical education and sports are philosophically grounded. Although he could not have foreseen phenomena related to the development of the internet and the digital world, Marinho (1984) demonstrated a sensitivity capable of grasping important connections between philosophy, physical education, and sports in contemporary times, thus allowing some of his ideas remain relevant in the 21st century.
