Great First Book to Read in Philosophy of Sport,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fair Play: The Ethics of Sport (Paperback)
Simon's book is a classic in the discipline. His account of sport as "a mutual quest for excellence through challenge" is influential in the field, and in my view is correct. The book deals with many ethical issues in sport, such as performance-enhancement, gender equity, college sports, and the commercialization of sports. This book could also be useful as an introductory text in a philosophy course, as a way to show the value of philosophical reasoning for issues in daily life. It is very readable and free of jargon. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a thoughtful exploration of some of the key ethical issues in contemporary sports, in both theory and practice.
