Opis

This book represents a bold statement concerning the excitement and energy of the field of sports ethics and philosophy in contemporary terms. It is comprised of a collection of commissioned essays from the leading international scholars in the field to celebrate the ten year editorship of Mike McNamee for the journal: Sport, Ethics and Philosophy. The collection includes essays familiar sport philosophers on work about the nature and nuances of sports and games playing, winning and losing, role models and strategic fouling. It also celebrates in phenomenological terms the complex and heterogeneous experience and values of sports in phenomenological and analytic modes. Finally, it addresses the most serious threats to sport integrity and governance, in the shape of anti doping policy and the unchecked power of sports institutions, and charisma of sport that is at the mercy of the commercial world. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport, Ethics and Philosophy.
