Review: The Philosophical Athlete by Heather L. Reid (Associate Professor of Philosophy, Morningside College) is a thoughtful and reflective look at victory, defeat, and the experience of sport itself in learning, reflection, and social interaction. Topics focus on self-discovery, responsibility, respect, and citizenship, as well as several of contemporary hot-button topics such as violence, racism, and drug abuse in the world of sports. A meditative and insightful discourse, The Philosophical Athlete is thoughtful and thought-provoking reading which would make a welcome addition to any professional or academic Sports/Athletics reference collection or reading list.
