Description
David Papineau's book explores the connections between sport and philosophy, revealing that many sporting puzzles raise long-standing philosophical issues.
From the reasons behind sports competitors' choking to the complexities of team dynamics and leadership, Papineau draws on a range of philosophical disciplines to shed new light on these topics.
This engaging and erudite book offers a fresh perspective on sport, one that combines Papineau's philosophical expertise with his enthusiasm for amateur sports and omnivorous sports fandom.
