EDSM 515 - Philosophical Inquiry in Sport

(Cr: 3)

The relationship between sport and philosophy will be closely examined in relation to our parallel lives by using “great ideas” to bridge some of the gaps between the way we think, know, and feel about the nature of sport. The practical application of the sporting context will be utilized to examine issues such as cheating, relational justice, and technological relativity. Metaphysical concepts relating mind and body synthesis and divergence will be explored.
