/Highlights/ Emotions in Sport: Philosophical Perspectives - Dr Yunus Tuncel (Pt 2) - Meaningful Sport Series

from Physical Activity Researcher · host paresearcher

This is the second part of our conversation with Dr Yunus Tuncel on philosophical approaches to emotions in sport. We explore how Kierkegaard's and Heidegger's account of anxiety can be applied to think of risk sports, discuss violence and aggression, and finish up on how to care for emotions in sport from a more practical perspective. 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 organisation offering trips to those interested in studying philosophy on the road (http://www.philomobile.com/). --- Found the episode interesting? Our previous conversation with Yunus can be found here: Part 1, Part 2. Related conversation on risk sports and authentic existence with Prof. Gunnar Breivik is here.
