How does the simple act of running make us human? As a form of
enskilled movement that shapes how we perceive our surroundings,
running enacts a mindful bodily engagement with the world, an
engagement that generates our very minds through perceptual
learning. Thomas F. Carter examines the interrelated aspects of a
runner's being-mind, body, and environs-to illustrate that the
skillful act of locomotion is one of principle ways that we as
human beings become integral parts of the larger world.
Synthesizing recent developments in neuroscience, anthropology, and
philosophy of mind, On Running proves there is more to running than
merely clocking up the miles.
