Pragmatism and the Philosophy of Sport explores the philosophical
significance of sport - the phenomenological experience, the
training, coaching, and the competition - from a uniquely pragmatic
angle of vision. The philosophical insights of John Dewey, William
James, C.S. Peirce, Jane Addams, and Josiah Royce shed new light on
the meaning of the physical practices that take place on our soccer
fields, national arenas, backyards, and playgrounds. Interestingly,
a close examination of these contemporary practices allows us to
understand a wide array of ethical, epistemological and
metaphysical commitments that the American pragmatic tradition has
articulated for more than a century. Pragmatism's insistence that
truth be embodied in the practical consequences of everyday life,
its balancing of communal and individual purposes, its emphasis on
the role of chance and spontaneity in experience - resonate with
the findings of modern kinesiology and sport science.
