Sommario/riassunto |

"Do we watch sport for pure dumb entertainment? While some people might do so, Stephen Mumford argues that it can be watched in other ways. Sport can be both a subject of high aesthetic values and a valid source for our moral education. The philosophy of sport has tended to focus on participation, but this book instead examines the philosophical issues around watching sport. Far from being a passive experience, we can all shape the way that we see sport.Delving into parallels with art and theatre, this book outlines the aesthetic qualities of sport from the incidental beauty of a well-executed football pass to the enshrined artistic interpretation in performed sports such as ice-skating and gymnastics. It is argued that the purist literally sees sport |

in a different way from the partisan, thus the aesthetic perception of the purist can be validated. The book moves on to examine the moral lessons that are to be learned from watching sport, depicting it as a contest of virtues. The morality of sport is demonstrated to be continuous with, rather than separate from, the morality in wider life, and so each can inform the other. Watching sport is then recognised as a focus of profound emotional experiences. Collective emotion is particularly considered alongside the nature of allegiance. Finally, Mumford considers why we care about sport at all.Addressing universal themes, this book will appeal to a broad audience across philosophical disciplines and sports studies"-- |

"This book offers a profound and much-needed exploration of how Islamic principles can be effectively integrated into modern educational practices to nurture holistic wellbeing in students. It is a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and scholars committed to enhancing the educational experience in Islamic schools. By bridging traditional Islamic concepts with contemporary educational frameworks, the authors have created a work that is both academically rigorous and practically applicable." —Saortua Marbun, Professor in Religion, Faith Based Management and Cultural Studies "Wellbeing in Islamic Schools: Nurturing the Mind, Body, and Soul is an essential guide for Islamic educators. It connects traditional Islamic teachings with contemporary educational needs, offering a holistic approach to student wellbeing. The book explores ʿāfiyah, or overall wellbeing, from an Islamic perspective, addressing mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. It critiques secular individualism, promoting a collective approach to education rooted in Islamic values. The authors, experts in various fields, provide insights on integrating Islamic principles with modern practices to create environments where students excel academically and thrive personally and spiritually." —Hanan Dover, Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, Islamic Psychology Lecturer Islamic schools are growing exponentially in the West to meet the demands of Muslim learners and their parents. Today, there are hundreds of Islamic schools that are constantly expanding. A key focus of the philosophy of Islamic schools and education is the nurturing of the mind, body and soul. Yet, to date, there is no book that addresses the issue of well-being in Islamic schools. This book provides a comprehensive approach to well-being and highlights both academic and practitioners’ findings, thoughts and experiences as well as school/classroom-based examples related to well-being in Islamic schooling. Mohamad Abdalla is Director at the Centre for Islamic Thought and Education at the University of South Australia. Nadeem Memon is Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Islamic Thought and Education at the University of South Australia. Dylan Chown is Lecturer at the Centre for Islamic Thought and Education at the University of South Australia. . |
