An introduction to the philosophy of sport through dialogue

Beschreibung

What is sport? Why does sport matter? How can we use philosophy to understand what sport means today? This engaging and original introduction to the philosophy of sport uses dialogue - a form of philosophical investigation - to address the fundamental questions in sport studies and to explore key contemporary issues such as fair play, gender, drug use, cheating, entertainment and identity.
