Drew A. Hyland, Charles A. Dana Professor of Philosophy An introductory course designed to exhibit the Socratic thesis that the material for philosophical reflection is present in our everyday experiences, even in activities which we may consider nonintellectual. Accordingly, the related themes of sport, athletics, and play are taken up, in order to show that an adequate understudying of them requires, and is indeed inseparable from, philosophic understanding. topics will include the social significance of sport, ethical issues in sport, sport and race, mind and body in sport, sport and aesthetics, and the connection of sport and philosophy. the connection of sport and gender will be a guiding theme throughout. |
