Heidegger, sport and body ecology

Original language description

This chapter discusses Heidegger&apos;s &apos;fundamental ontology&apos;, that is his ontological account of the human being (Dasein), with reference to the human body and its emergent features within the context of the sporting environment. Starting with a brief introduction to the main characteristics of Dasein&apos;s existence (including some relevant &apos;existentialia&apos;), the chapter highlights the phenomenon of understanding (Verstehen), focussing on the practical (instrumental) understanding of Dasein, i.e. readiness-to-hand (Zuhandenheit). This mode of understanding then discussed as it applies within sport, and the specific instrumental nature of sport is described. Finally, the role of the body within the sporting experience is discussed.
