/Highlights/ Emotions in Sport: Philosophical Perspectives - Dr Yunus Tuncel (Pt 1) - Meaningful Sport Series
In this episode, we explore emotions in sports 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 sports? 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?
Our conversation draws heavily on Yunus's book Emotion in Sports: Philosophical Perspectives.
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 organization offering trips to those interested in studying philosophy on the road (Philomobile – Explore and Study Philosophy).
The conversation continues in Part 2 with a focus on more specific emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger, and joy in sports.
