Emotions in Sport: Philosophical Perspectives - Dr Yunus Tuncel (Pt 1) - Meaningful Sport Series

<p>In this episode, we explore emotions in sport from a philosophical perspective. How are philosophical perspectives different from the more established psychological perspectives? How can ideas found in Aristotle, Nietzsche, Hume and Spinoza help us establish a framework to explore emotions in sport? Why are certain emotions and their balance essential for sustaining our sporting culture as we know it today, or could we find a better emotional balance in our individual and collective sporting lives?</p> <p>Our conversation draws heavily on Yunus's book <a href='https://www.routledge.com/Emotion-in-Sports-Philosophical-Perspectives/Tuncel/p/book/9780367520007'>Emotion in Sports: Philosophical Perspectives</a>.</p> <p>Dr Yunus Tuncel teaches Philosophy at The New School, New York, and in New York University’s Liberal Studies Programme. He is a co-founder of the Nietzsche Circle and a member of the Editorial Board of its journal The Agonist. Yunus is also the founder of Philomobile, which is a travel organisation offering trips to those interested in studying philosophy on the road (<a href='http://www.philomobile.com/'>http://www.philomobile.com/</a>).</p> <p>The conversation continues in Part 2 with a focus on more specific emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger and joy in sport.</p> <p>---</p> <p>Found the episode interesting?
