Jesús Ilundáin-Agurruza is Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Linfield College. In 2013-2015 he served as president of the International Association for the Philosophy of Sport (IAPS). His research and publications focus on and integrate sport philosophy, East Asian philosophy (especially Japanese), phenomenology, and philosophy of mind. He has recently published Cycling-Philosophy for Everyone: A Philosophical Tour the Force (2010).
Holism and the Cultivation of Excellence in Sports and Performance is a multi-methodological (value theory, phenomenology, conceptual analysis) and cross-cultural examination (pragmatism, Japanese and Chinese philosophy) of how we flourish holistically through performative endeavors, such as sports, martial and performing arts, as members of communities that foster the cultivation of our abilities as lifelong quests for human excellence. This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport, Ethics and Philosophy.
