{"product_id":"surfing-with-sartre-aaron-james-9781101970157","title":"Surfing with Sartre: An Aquatic Inquiry Into a Life of Meaning","description":"Jean-Paul Sartre once declared waterskiing to be \"the ideal limit of aquatic sports.\" Aaron James, who is both an avid surfer and a professor of philosophy, vigorously disagrees. In these pages, he presents his surfer's worldview as a foil to Sartre's, along the way elucidating such philosophical categories as freedom, being, phenomenology, morality, epistemology, and even the emerging values of what he terms \"leisure capitalism.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In developing his unique surfer's philosophy, he draws from surf culture and lingo--and engages with philosophers from Aristotle to Wittgenstein. In the process, he speaks to those of us in search of personal and social meaning--particularly in our current anxious moment--by way of real, authentic philosophy. In or out of the water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1101970154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781101970157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Aaron James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980843712767,"sku":"9781101970157","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80fea442-27bd-4048-8c9b-c24f0cb51540.jpg?v=1683252209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/surfing-with-sartre-aaron-james-9781101970157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
