Philosophy, Risk and Adventure Sports
General interest in adventure sports and leisure activities in which ‘risk’ is unavoidable grows year on year. While many such activities provide a sense of closeness to nature and heighten our awareness of the unpredictability of the outdoors, they typically require the participant to put themselves at genuine risk of injury or even death.

The time is ripe for a critical and reflective assessment of this phenomenon from rigorous philosophical perspectives. This collection of essays is the first single-source treatment of adventure sports from an exclusively philosophical standpoint, offering students a uniquely focused reader of this burgeoning area of interest as well as providing graduates and academics with a groundbreaking new direction for study in this area.

Featuring contributions from philosophers who each also have personal familiarity of participation in adventure and extreme sports, and with reference to key modern philosophers including Heidegger, Nietzsche and Kant, Philosophy, Risk and Adventure Sports should become a classic analysis of the intersections between philosophy and extreme experiences, encompassing essential related concepts of elation, danger, death, wilderness and authenticity.

With contributions from John Michael Atherton, Douglas Anderson, Paul Beedie, Gunnar Breivik, Alan P. Dougherty, Jesús Ilundáin-Agurruza, Ivo Jirásek, Kevin Krein, Sigmund Loland, Mike McNamee, Verner Møller, Robert E. Rinehart, Philip Ebert and Simon Robertson.

Mike McNamee is Reader in Philosophy at the Centre for Philosophy, Humanities and Law in Health Care at the University of Wales, Swansea. He is also co-editor of the Routledge book series Ethics and Sport and editor of the journal Sport, Ethics and Philosophy.
