In this episode of the Fitness in Philosophy podcast, James and Robby continue discussing the question "What is fitness?" In particular they discuss: -The distinction between descriptive and normative claims in philosophy, which is mainly the distinction between what is (descriptive claims) and what should be (normative claims) -The question: when we ask "What is fitness?" are we merely describing how fitness is practiced today or are we saying what it should be? -James' definition of what fitness should be -How the concept of fitness compares and contrasts with other related concepts like health, sickness, wellness, performance, longevity and athleticism. About the Podcast: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.
