Physical education is an integral part of the education system that is not only focused on the development of physical abilities but also plays a role in shaping students’ character. The philosophy of physical education views human beings as a holistic entity that encompasses physical, cognitive, affective, and social aspects. This study aims to examine the role of the philosophy of physical education as the foundation for shaping students’ character through a literature review approach. Data were obtained from various journals, books, and scientific sources relevant to physical education and character education. The results of the study indicate that physical education is capable of instilling character values such as discipline, responsibility, honesty, cooperation, sportsmanship, respect, and perseverance through structured physical activities. Physical education teachers play a crucial role in integrating these values through modeling, habit formation, and the creation of a positive learning environment. Thus, the philosophy of physical education serves as a vital foundation for shaping students with strong character and good personal qualities.
