With interest and participation in extreme and adventure sports
growing year on year, the time is ripe for a thoughtful and
analytical assessment of this phenomenon from a rigorous
philosophical perspective.
This collection of essays is the first single-source treatment
of adventure sports from an exclusively philosophical standpoint.
The text offers students a uniquely focused reader of this
burgeoning area of interest and provides scholars with a source
book for further studies in this area.
Featuring contributions from well-respected writers in the field
who each also have personal familiarity of participation in
adventure and extreme sports, this is set to become a classic
analysis of the intersections between philosophy and extreme
experiences, encompassing essential related concepts of elation,
danger, death, wilderness and authenticity.
