Emotion in Sports: Philosophical Perspectives de Yunus Tuncel

Emotion in Sports: Philosophical Perspectives: Ethics and Sport

Autor Yunus Tuncel
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 sep 2018
Emotion is central to human character, infiltrating our physiological functions and our mental constitution. In sport, athletes feel emotion in specific ways, from joy to anger and despair.
This is the first book to examine emotion in sport from a philosophical perspective, building on concepts developed by ancient Greek and modern philosophers. For instance, how is Aristotle’s concept of catharsis applied to the sports field? How about power as advanced by Nietzsche, or existentialism as discussed by Kierkegaard? Emotion in Sports explores the philosophical framework for the expression of emotion and relates it to our psychological understanding, from the perspective of both athlete and spectator.
A fascinating and useful read for students, researchers, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of sport sciences, philosophy, and psychology.

He is interested in the fusion of art, sport, and philosophy in various cultural formations.

Recenzii

This book starts from the premise that 'we are all configurations of repressed emotions'. This is especially clear in sports. Investigating sport-specific emotions such as catharsis, power, and joy, Tuncel offers a ground-breaking theory for understanding these emotions and their value for sports philosophically, while also examining critically therapeutic interventions addressing emotional problems in sport. In so doing, Tuncel makes a much-needed contribution to current debates on the spirit and value of sports. He further helps the philosophy of sport move forward by introducing, amongst others, Spinoza's affect theory and Nietzsche's theory of power in those debates. A great book for all philosophers of sport, interested in the role of emotions in sport!

Sport is about action and bodily performance, but it is certainly also about emotions. Yunus Tuncel’s new book is the first book that treats the full range of emotions in sport from a philosophical as well as psychological perspective. Building on theoretical frameworks from Aristotle, Spinoza, Hume and Nietzsche he gives us a wonderful exposition of the importance and role of the wide variety of sport-specific emotions. A very impressive piece of work!
