What is the 'philosophy of sport'? What does one do to count as a
practitioner in the philosophy of sport? What conception of
philosophy underpins the answer to those questions? In this
important new book, leading sport philosopher Graham McFee draws on
a lifetime's philosophical inquiry to reconceptualise the field of
study. The book covers important topics such as Olympism, the
symbolisation of argument, and epistemology and aesthetics in sport
research; and concludes with a section of 'applied' sport
philosophy by looking at rules and officiating. Using a
Wittgensteinian framework, and employing a rich array of sporting
examples throughout, McFee challenges the assumptions of
traditional analytic philosophy regarding the completeness required
of concepts and the exceptionlessness required of philosophical
claims, providing the reader with a new set of tools with which to
approach this challenging subject. On Sport and the Philosophy of
Sport is fascinating and important reading for any serious students
or researchers of sport philosophy.
