Expanding Western philosophy's global outlook, the book forces a theoretical reckoning with the concerns of Chinese philosophy and the aesthetic and technical dimensions of martial arts practice. Striking Beauty explains the relationship between Asian martial arts and the Chinese philosophical traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, in addition to Sunzi's Art of War. It connects martial arts practice to the Western concepts of mind-body dualism and materialism, sports aesthetics, and the ethics of violence. The work ameliorates Western philosophy's hostility toward the body, emphasizing the pleasure of watching and engaging in martial arts, along with their beauty and the ethical problem of their violence. 606 $aHuman body (Philosophy) 606 $aMind and body 606 $aMartial arts$xPhilosophy 615 0$aHuman body (Philosophy) 615 0$aMind and body. 615 0$aMartial arts$xPhilosophy. 676 $a796.815/501 700 $aAllen$b Barry$f1957-$0565014 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797348303321 996 $aStriking beauty$93818062 997 $aUNINA
