What is a hobby?
Update: 2024-05-02
Description
Hobbies are a special kind of leisure. Hobbies include train-spotting, golf, and pottery classes but not watching TV or surfing the internet. Hobbies lie between leisure and work, but are they worklike leisure or leisurely work? And is having a hobby to be admired or mocked? Answering these questions requires a philosophy of hobbies. This talk will sketch the history of hobbies, develop a definition of hobbies, and set out the idea of an “ultimate hobby”. The goal is an argument that hobbies are uniquely valuable activities with implications for politics, gender, and capitalism.
