Rolf Kretschmann Book order

This compilation explores various philosophical and ethical theories through selected works and authors. It includes discussions on Aristotle’s "Nicomachean Ethics," Hume's moral principles, Mill's utilitarianism, and moral contractualism by Hobbes, Gauthier, and Stemmer. The book also examines contemporary perspectives from Dawkins on biology, Mayr's causation, Ekman's emotional expressions, Descartes' foundational philosophy, and insights from Buddhism, providing a comprehensive view of moral and ethical thought across different contexts.

The book explores the integration of technology in physical education, highlighting the growing interest and efforts in this area through teacher education programs, textbooks, and research. Despite the availability of suitable technology and best practices, a significant gap persists between theory and actual classroom implementation. Factors such as insufficient resources, low ICT literacy, and resistance to technology hinder teachers from effectively incorporating technology-enhanced teaching methods into their physical education classes.

Today’s children and adolescents exposure to adequate levels of physical activity constantly headlines current academic discussion and debate when considering health and social status. Our younger generation is said to be in danger of becoming a sedentary generation due to media exposure and an inactive lifestyle. A closer look at youth’s behavioral settings reveals school being a major location where school-aged children and adolescents spend most of their available daytime. This inherent potential of everyday school to serve as a significant contributor to today’s youth’s physical activity motivates the main objectives of this investigation. Hence, this study focuses on physical activity levels of school students during the regular school day, including their way to school, recess, leisure, and regular classes as well as physical education.
