Patrick is passionate about sailing, and, in addition to maintaining a small daysailer and a cruising boat of his own, frequently crews on the boats of others. The bays and sounds of Virginia and North Carolina are his home waters but he has sailed the length of the East Coast of the United States from Hilton Head to Long Island Sound, made a Bermuda crossing, done club racing in Brittany, and cruised in the Lesser Antilles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries Editor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFritz Allhoff\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor in the Philosophy department at Western Michigan University, as well as a senior research fellow at the Australian National University’s Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics.

It digs more deeply into the meaning and value of the sport than do how-to books or travel\/adventure accounts. Contributors include philosophers, academics from other disciplines, and others intimately involved in the sport. All share an abiding interest in sailing and the belief that it teaches profound life lessons to those who sail. They articulate the intense engagement people have with sailing craft and with the many different forms that sailing takes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will enhance sailors' appreciation, and enrich their experience, of the sport. At the same time, philosophers will discover thought-provoking examples of the way that philosophical reflection comes to life when it is applied to the concrete activities to which people commit themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989979119845,"sku":"NP9780470671856","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470671856.jpg?v=1761786105","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/sailing-philosophy-for-everyone-isbn-9780470671856","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
