Our Soccer, Ourselves - New Passage
Popular Culture
"Simon Critchley is one of the great philosophers of soccer. As he explains, the philosophical tradition that most inspires his thinking on the sport is the phenomenology of Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, which seeks to illuminate our lives via
close attention to the texture of everyday experience. The methodology is perfectly suited to Critchley’s purposes. He is excellent on the numinous intensity of actually attending a game."
