Publisher Notes

This anthology draws from philosophical, sociological, and psychological literature as it explores the philosophy of sport. The collected essays treat diverse and contemporary issues and inquire into questions such as: What is sport? Are female athletes of the same rank as men? Are many sports too violent? Should certain drugs be banned? Each essay is accompanied by questions and exercises that invite critical discussion.
