Review    A paramount goal of applied sport philosophy is to enhance your self-understanding. By now, you should be aware of different ways of understanding and the role that your movement activities can play in expanding your awareness of your self. A major component in this process is mind/body dualism. Cartesian dualism colors the way you see yourself, the way you move, the way you approach relationships, even the way you earn a living. In this chapter we explored this mind/body relationship along a continuum from the extremes of dualistic thinking to the realms of embodied consciousness. After this review, we can see the power of philosophy. A change in our self-perception can affect our thinking, our moving, our very being. ReferencesBaker, Elsworth.[1967] Man in the trap.
