Emotions play an important role in both sport and games, from the pride and joy of victory, the misery and shame of defeat, and the anger and anxiety felt along the way. This volume brings together experts in the philosophy of sport and games and experts in the philosophy of emotion to investigate this important area of research. The book discusses the role of the emotions for both participants and spectators of sports and games, including detailed discussions of suffering, shame, anger, anxiety, misery and hatred. It also investigates the issues of collective emotions in relation to sport such as the shared joy of a football crowd when their team scores a goal. In addition, this volume examines the role of pretence and make believe in emotional reactions to sport. In so doing, it makes important contributions both to the philosophy of sport and to the philosophy of emotions, which will be of interest to researchers and students in both fields.This book was first published as a special issue of the Journal of the Philosophy of Sport.
Published by: PREMIUM BOOK PUBLISHERWhat happens to your consciousness at death?This book explores several scientific ideas about consciousness. Not just neural correlations, but ideas about the role of the observer in relation to reality, the possible connection between quantum physics and the mind, and the tenuous nature of time - which implies that death, itself, may not exist.Presented as a barrage of thoughts and memories, it includes several ideas about the nature of consciousness, memory, and reality itself.I encourage the reader to interpret the entire book as either one flash of thought, or as a rapid sequence of thoughts.Except for the opening and closing paragraphs, this is a non-fiction book.I explored these ideas and much more in a lifetime of conversations with my now-deceased brother. These random but deep conversations only intensified when he began treatments for the cancer that eventually killed him. I would often visit him the day after a chemo or radiation treatment, when he felt the worst, to try to distract him from his own reality.Now that he is no longer with us, I have no one to discuss these strange topics with, so I decided to write down a few of them.Storytelling is a central aspect of human life. Why not death, too?
