Description

Beyond the Concept of Sport challenges conventional views of athletics to reveal sports' profound social impact and philosophical significance. Author Robert Griffiths explores how sports - particularly cricket - tap into the human spirit, shaping culture and consciousness for millions worldwide. Griffiths offers fresh insight into sports' resonance, moving beyond cliches to examine its role in forging identity, purpose, inspiration, escapism, and more. He delves into often-overlooked areas such as fandom, nationalism, arts, business, and the meaning behind sports' rituals, revealing a rich tapestry of human experience. Written with passionate intellect and wry wit, this book invites both die-hard fans and curious readers to engage with sports in a new light, elevating it as a subject worthy of serious consideration.
