Why is meaning central to movement cultures, and how does it relate to ecological awareness and sustainability? Are there certain meanings and values of sport that are problematic when we are trying to move towards more sustainable movement cultures? Can we find potential for ecologization also in competitive and elite sport, which have been often considered with suspicion by eco-philosophers?
Sigmund Loland is a professor of sport philosophy and ethics at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (NIH), Oslo. He has published extensively in the area of sport philosophy and ethics, including questions about meaning in movement and ecological perspectives on sport.
Prof. Loland's works discussed in the episode include Morality, Medicine, and Meaning: Toward an Integrated Justification of Physical Education, Outline of an Ecosophy of Sport, and Record Sports: An Ecological Critique and a Reconstruction.
