Emotions play an important role in both sport and games, from the
pride and joy of victory, the misery and shame of defeat, and the
anger and anxiety felt along the way. This volume brings together
experts in the philosophy of sport and games and experts in the
philosophy of emotion to investigate this important area of
research. The book discusses the role of the emotions for both
participants and spectators of sports and games, including detailed
discussions of suffering, shame, anger, anxiety, misery and hatred.
It also investigates the issues of collective emotions in relation
to sport such as the shared joy of a football crowd when their team
scores a goal. In addition, this volume examines the role of
pretence and make believe in emotional reactions to sport. In so
doing, it makes important contributions both to the philosophy of
sport and to the philosophy of emotions, which will be of interest
to researchers and students in both fields. This book was first
published as a special issue of the Journal of the Philosophy of
Sport.
