Críticas
This year's most original and instructive work of popular philosophy. Rowlands is a rare contemporary philosopher who is able to learn from everything he experiences in life.
Rowlands is able to appreciate the important distinction between instrumental and intrinsic value, and he builds his case for the place of running in a flourishing human life in terms of this distinction. For Rowlands, our status as embodied creatures who have evolved in our particular way determines the kinds of intrinsic values accessible to us. Creates a rhythm that brings the reader in line with Rowlands's thoughts, and creates the space for philosophical insight.
Provides an external reason to appreciate the intrinsic value of the run, such as Rowlands' pack did.
Reseña del editor
“Most of the serious thinking I have done over the past twenty years has been done while running,” says philosophy professor Mark Rowlands, who has run for most of his life. And for him, running and philosophizing are inextricably connected.In Running with the Pack, he reveals the most significant runs of his life—from the entire day he spent running as a boy in Wales, to the runs along French beaches and up Irish mountains with his beloved wolf, Brenin, and through Florida swamps with his husky-mix, Nina. Intertwined with this honest, passionate, and witty memoir are the fascinating meditations that those runs triggered, from mortality, midlife, and the meaning of life.A highly original and moving book that will make the philosophically inclined want to run, and those who love running become intoxicated by the beauty of philosophy.
