Abstract
This paper discusses the philosophical assumptions underpinning the 1999 New Zealand Health and Physical Education curriculum. With a brief introduction and conclusion, it comprises three main sections. First, it discusses the Cartesian mind/body dualism and why this is a problem. Second, it analyzes the curriculum's assumptions and understandings about well-being/hauora, the body and the self. Third, it audits the curriculum in a discussion of the philosophy of the body, arguing that there is scant evidence of contemporary understandings of theories or philosophies of the body, the self or the embodied self. Rather, it maintains the Cartesian mind/body dualism.
