Description
Sport, Philosophy, and Good Lives by Randolph Feezell explores the complex relationship between sport and human life. This thought-provoking book examines traditional philosophical questions, such as what constitutes a good human life and how sport fits into it, to shed light on the value and ethics of sports. Feezell draws on various philosophical traditions, including Buddhism and Taoism, to address issues affecting sports participants. He also considers contemporary sports issues and popular literature to illuminate the attraction and meaning of sports. By examining these topics, Feezell offers a nuanced understanding of the role of sport in human life and its accompanying ethical considerations.
