How does the simple act of running make us human? As a form of
enskilled movement that shapes how we perceive our surroundings,
running enacts a mindful bodily engagement with the world, an
engagement that generates our very minds through perceptual learning.
Thomas F. Carter examines the interrelated aspects of a runner’s
being—mind, body, and environs—to illustrate that the skillful act
of locomotion is one of principle ways that we as human beings become
integral parts of the larger world. Synthesizing recent developments
in neuroscience, anthropology, and philosophy of mind, On Running
proves there is more to running than merely clocking up the miles.
