ABSTRACT This paper examines Epictetus’ use of athletic imagery as a pedagogical tool and what this tells us about his views on what philosophers can learn from athletes. This paper argues that this imagery serves an important protreptic, or motivational, function. By comparing virtue to Olympic victory and philosophical progress to athletic training, Epictetus inspires students to take up a life of philosophy and treat Stoicism as an ethically transformative practice rather than an abstract intellectual pursuit. These comparisons also show that Epictetus considers achieving virtue and athletic excellence to be similar kinds of pursuits, and because of this the philosopher can benefit by learning from the athlete’s example.

ABSTRACT The work of Bernard Suits continues to be discussed in the sports philosophy field, over forty years after the publication of his brilliant book, The Grasshopper: Games, Life, and Utopia. Much of this discussion has looked at how the perfectionist consequences of Suits’ definition of game playing impacts on gamewrighting. However, it is not just the cheat, the trifler, the spoilsport, or even the subperfectionist that the gamewrighter must be concerned with. This paper uses the spirit of the Grasshopper to suggest that what we should also be concerned about in contemporary sport at almost all levels, and what gamewrighting discussions should focus on, is the loss of player autonomy because of the control exerted by coaches, managers and analysts.

I expand and adapt Thi Nguyen ’ s account of games to the context of university humanities education. I analyse ‘ misalignment ’ , wherein the stakes of success or failure in a game undermine players ’ capacity to submerge themselves in play, thus missing the associated benefits. I argue that in many ways humanities university education is misaligned: crucial pedagogical goods require submersion, but submersion is undermined by how success or failure underwrites future student success.
