Credits: 3
Does the meaning of sport lie in the pleasure of the English gentleman or the egolessness of the Zen master? What do athletes mean when they speak of “expressing” or “realizing” themselves? Can we speak of ourselves as living through our bodies in the same way that we speak of ourselves as living through our intellect or our aesthetic sense? Is sport a metaphor for life?Prereq: Sophomore standing.
