ISBN: 9780415377904 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Do we watch sport for pure dumb entertainment? While some people might do so, Stephen Mumford argues that it can be watched in other ways. Sport can be both a subject of high aesthetic values and a valid source for our moral education.

But I hope some of them will read it, regardless. Because I love sports, absolutely, truly, and deeply. I love the real essence...
