Description
Martial arts and philosophy have at all times gone hand in hand, in addition to fist in throat. Philosophical argument is closely paralleled with hand-to-hand combat. And all of nowadays’s Asian martial arts were developed to embody and apply philosophical ideas. In his interview with Bodidharma, Graham Priest brings out aspects of Buddhist philosophy in the back of Shaolin Kung-Fu how fighting monks are looking for Buddhahood, now not brawls. But as Scott Farrell’s chapter reveals, Eastern martial arts haven’t any monopoly on philosophical traditions: Western chivalry is an education in and living revival of Aristotelian ethical theories. A couple of chapters have a look at ethical problems raised by the fighting arts. How can the sweaty and brutal be exquisitely beautiful? Each chapter is easily understandable by readers new to martial arts or new to philosophy.
