Philosophy and Human MovementAuthor(s): David Best dec'd\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781041002932, 978-1041002932\nSynopsis\nFirst published in 1978, Philosophy and Human Movement examines the major philosophical issues in the rapidly growing field of the study of human movement, physical education, and sport and dance. Issues which start with, and grow from, the central problem of the relation of body to mind. The authors overriding aim has been to encourage clear, critical, independent thinking about the study of human movement among those with little or no background knowledge of formal philosophy. A frequent misconception among these newcomers to the discipline, when applying philosophical insights to the study of human movement is a misconception about philosophy itself and what it can achieve.\n\nThe first chapter therefore sets out to explain the character, scope and contribution of modern philosophy.
