Soccer and Philosophy: Beautiful Thoughts on the Beautiful Game


Description

This collection of incisive articles gives a leading team of international philosophers a free kick toward exploring the complex and often hidden contours of the world of soccer. What does it really mean to be a fan (and why should we count Aristotle as one)? Why do great players such as Cristiano Ronaldo count as great artists (up there alongside Picasso, one author argues)? From the ethics of refereeing to the metaphysics of bent (like Beckham) space-time, this book shows soccer fans and philosophy buffs alike new ways to appreciate and understand the world's favorite sport.

Beat movement icon and visionary poet, Allen Ginsberg was one of the most influential poets of the Soccer and Philosophy: Beautiful Thoughts on the Beautiful Game free pdf twentieth century, and broke boundaries with his fearless, pyrotechnic verse. The apocalyptic 'Howl', originally written as a performance piece, became the subject of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956. It is considered to be one of the defining works of the Beat Generation, standing alongside that of Burroughs, Kerouac, and Corso. In it, Ginsberg attacks what he saw as the destructive forces of materialism and conformity in the United States at the time, and takes on issues of sex, drugs and race, simultaneously creating what would become the poetic anthem for US counterculture. In Vol. 9 Mickey and Eega team up to save Mouseton from the Rhyming Man... a poetic master spy with an arsenal of chemical weapons! In Vol. 10, Astronauts Mickey and Eega Beeva find “Be-Junior,” a planet beyond the moon! Back on Earth, modern relatives of Cinderella’s Gus and Jaq need Mickey’s help in “Mousepotamia”... and Pegleg Pete has become an Iron Curtain spy!
