{"product_id":"martial-arts-and-philosophy-graham-priest-9780812696844","title":"Martial Arts and Philosophy: Beating and Nothingness","description":"Martial arts and philosophy have always gone hand in hand, as well as fist in throat. Philosophical argument is closely paralleled with hand-to-hand combat. And all of today'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 behind Shaolin Kung-Fu -- how fighting monks are seeking Buddhahood, not brawls. But as Scott Farrell's chapter reveals, Eastern martial arts have no monopoly on philosophical traditions: Western chivalry is an education in and living revival of Aristotelian ethical theories. Several chapters look at ethical problems raised by the fighting arts. How can the sweaty and brutal be exquisitely beautiful? Every chapter is easily understandable by readers new to martial arts or new to philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Priest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812696840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812696844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Court\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 66","brand":"Graham Priest","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992479432959,"sku":"9780812696844","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7a4faa8-adaa-4037-bc1f-5c18a56fb0af.jpg?v=1683319170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/martial-arts-and-philosophy-graham-priest-9780812696844","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
