Exploring broad issues in the philosophy of sports, this book examines the ethical presuppositions of competitive athletics and their connections to moral and ethical theory. It develops a morally defensible model of athletic competition as a mutually acceptable quest for excellence.
Exploring broad issues in the philosophy of sports, this book examines the ethical presuppositions of competitive athletics and their connections to moral and ethical theory. It develops a morally defensible model of athletic competition as a mutually acceptable quest for excellence, and applies that model to such issues in sports as the emphasis on winning, the conflict between equality and excellence, the use of performance-enhancing drugs, violence, sex equality, and the role which sports play in educational institutions. The discussion of each topic deals with relevant examples and illuminates them in the light of philosophical work on such values as fairness, justice, integrity and respect for rights.
