Disagreement and Fitness

In this episode of the Fitness in Philosophy podcast James and
Robby turn their attention to the concept of experience and its
relationship with fitness.


They ask and attempt to answer the following questions in the
episode:


What is disagreement and why is it important?


How can we respectfully disagree with those who we think are just
as rational as us?


What role does disagreement play in the fitness world?


What should we practically do if we disagree with others in the
fitness world?


What's the best forum for disagreeing with others in fitness?
Social Media? In-Person? Long-Form Zoom Call?


The Fitness in Philosophy podcast is dedicated to discussing the
intersection between concepts in philosophy and their connection
with fitness. Each episode we talk about a particular
philosophical concept like autonomy, knowledge, virtue, truth,
etc. and discuss how that idea connects with coaching fitness,
participating in fitness as an individual, and fitness culture at
large. It is hosted by James FitzGerald and Robby Gustin.
