Augustine, Desire and Philosophy in Sport
Reuben Hoetmer
Augustine, Desire and Philosophy in Sport reimagines sport through Augustine’s understanding of human beings as defined by their loves, offering a wealth of new insights into its cultural meanings, competitive ideals, and relationship to virtue, beauty, and human flourishing. Hoetmer puts this understanding to work in a critical and constructive reappraisal of sport that engages a variety of enduring problems: how sporting communities can negotiate competing values, how competition mediates ideology, how sport relates to human existence, how genuine virtue differs from athletic excellence, and how sport’s beauty is informed by its ugliness. In so doing, he offers an illuminating framework for understanding, evaluating, and reforming sport, exposing how sport culture can perpetuate harmful myths and power relations, and proposing alternative pathways that promote friendship and justice while preserving sport’s competitive spirit.
Augustine, Desire and Philosophy in Sport is an essential resource for students and researchers in the philosophy, sociology, and theology of sport. It is also highly relevant to those working in Augustinian studies, ethics, and the relationship between religion and culture.
