Academic Interests: Ilundáin-Agurruza joined Linfield in 2006, and is Associate professor of Philosophy, and a former Allen and Pat Kelley Faculty Scholar. He was a Fellow at the Institute for Philosophy in the Public Life in 2010. His specialties are the philosophy of sport, aesthetics, and metaphysics. He has co-edited a book Cycling: philosophy for everyone (Wiley & Blackwell), published in journals such as Sports, Ethics, and Philosophy, or Proteus, and has chapters in anthologies on sports and risk, the ethics of sport, soccer, hunting, childhood, literature, and others (some in Spanish). His big philosophical appetite, which also helps fuel his motivation to pedal, ranges from value theory, ethics, and aesthetics to metaphysics, from philosophy and literature, Eastern philosophy, and the philosophy of mind to sport, all areas on which he loves to teach and research. Born and raised in Pamplona, Spain, he ran with the bulls for a number of foolish years. He is a Cat 2 racer.
