Beschreibungen
<p><span>Endurance Sport and the American Philosophical Tradition</span><span>, edited by Douglas R. Hochstetler, analyzes the relationship between endurance sports—such as running, cycling, and swimming–and themes from the American philosophical tradition. The contributors enter into dialogue with writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, William James, Henry David Thoreau, and John Dewey, as well as more recent scholars such as John McDermott and bell hooks. Examining American philosophical themes informs issues in endurance sport, and the experiential nature of endurance sport helps address philosophical issues and explain philosophical themes in American philosophy. The chapters bear witness to the fact that philosophy is not limited to abstract notions such as justice, truth, happiness, and so forth, but intersects with and has a bearing on our human endeavors of work and play. Furthermore, the themes centrally related to the American philosophical tradition align closely with the challenges and experiences present and faced by runners, cyclists, swimmers, and endurance athletes in general. </span></p>
<p><span>Endurance Sport and the American Philosophical Tradition </span><span> analyzes the relationship between endurance sports and themes from the American philosophical tradition. The contributors write from a scholarly viewpoint but also informed through their own endurance sport participation.</span></p>
