Opis

Making Game is a mixed-genre composition in which the author reflects on the philosophical and ethical implications of hunting wild game. Through the activity of hunting, Atkinson finds a connection to the roots of his identity: both his family history and his sense of self.This engaging essay is informed by the author's significant background of scholarly engagement with the phenomenological tradition in modern philosophy, represented by the work of Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty.
