Somaesthetics and Sport
Somaesthetics and Sport brings together a diverse set of explorations into the embodied experience of watching and playing sport. Sport can at once be a source of sensual beauty and pleasure, and also of pain and anguish; spectators can both celebrate and glorify athletes, but also expect certain forms of behaviour, and intentionally or otherwise police the movements of their bodies; sport and physical exercise can improve our health and increase…
Environmental Thought
Despite its relative brevity, Environmental Thought: A Short History offers a comprehensive historical overview of environmentalist debate. Largely, but not exclusively, focusing on the Western tradition, it offers concise and lucid accounts of ideas and arguments from ancient Greece and Roman, through the Christian Middle Ages to the enlightenment and the emergence of modern environmental science and green politics. What is perhaps most distinct…
Philosophy, Sport, and the Pandemic
Ars Erotica
Ars Erotica is not concerned with ‘erotic art’, which is to say fine art having an erotic content, but is rather a study of texts that advocate ‘skilled methods or styles of love making’ (p. 1). More profoundly, perhaps, it is concerned with texts that explore the manner in which the pleasure and beauty—the aesthetic experience—of the sexual act may be enhanced. It seeks to explicate the presuppositions that such explorations make about human nat…
The Authority and Interpretation of Regulations
In the past half century, governments have increasingly relied on regulations—secondary legislation issued by administrative bodies and departments—to impose obligations on private parties, multiplying the occasions for regulatory interpretation. This article develops a theory of regulatory interpretation. It argues that such a theory involves understanding the authority of regulations. Turning to the public law of the UK, US, and Australia, this…
The Philosophy of Sport
Philosophy as a discipline is typically characterized through the use of rigorous argument and analysis, and the clarification of the meaning of concepts. Philosophical problems are thus resolved, not through the appeal to empirical evidence, but by identifying inconsistent and confusing patterns of thought and reflection. This paper will clarify the nature of a philosophical methodology by explicating the relationship between the philosophy of s…

Sport and Art
In this essay I explore the relationship of sport to art. I do not intend to argue that sport is one of the arts. I will rather argue that sport and art have a commonality, in that both are alienated philosophy. This is to propose – in an argument that has its roots in Hegel's aesthetics – that sport and art may both be interpreted as a way of reflecting upon metaphysical and normative issues, albeit in media that are alien to philosophy's concep…

Need humanities be so useless? Justifying the place and role of humanities as a critical resource for performance and practice
Justifying the existence, position, and relevance of academic humanities scholarship may be difficult in the face of chronic practical needs in health care. Such scholarship may seem parasitic on human activity and performance that directly contributes to human wellbeing and health care. Here, a possible and partial justification for the importance of scholarship in the humanities as a critical resource for practice and performance is undertaken …

Philosophy of Habermas
The theory of communicative action
Habermas's work between 1973 and 1983 may be seen to be primarily concerned to work out the implications of Legitimation Crisis. This entails the development of a theoretical reconstruction of the competences that people use in everyday communication: universal pragmatics. This takes its final form in the magisterial The Theory of Communicative Action. At the same time he is working out the ethical theory that is outlined in the final part of Leg…
