Breyen Canfield, '16 BA Philosophy and '19 JD, accepted an appointment to a position in the federal government after law school. He recently published a book called Plato's Barbell: What Ancient Philosophy Can Teach Us About Olympic Weightlifting. He started the book (edited by fellow UNLV philosophy grad, Shad Taylor) in undergrad after many conversations with some of the great professors in the UNLV philosophy department who were able to help him learn about Plato, Aristotle, and others by putting them in contexts that do not have any obvious connection to ancient philosophy. Canfield thought he could help those in another field he loves, weightlifting, learn more about that sport by drawing on lessons from ancient philosophers while hopefully generating an interest in strength sports in the philosophy field. The book is published by Jailhouse Strong, a company devoted to promoting education in all sports of strength and is available on Amazon. He lives in northern Illinois with his wife and kids.
