The breadth of our moral experience is more extensive than has been
believed over the past several millennia. There is more to morality
than being honest and good, or aspiring to universal principles. In
fact, in many ways the morality of our distant ancestors bears a
remarkable resemblance to the moral experiences of modern athletes.
In A Moral Theory of Sports, ethicist Richard J. Severson brings
together stories from today's sports world and the moral practices
of hunter-gatherers to shed new light on both sports and morality.
Guided by anthropologists, biologists, neuroscientists, and others,
Severson discuss what the moral life actually looked like for
hunter-gatherer bands in the late Pleistocene epoch and argues that
the championing of group success that was the epitome of their
morality is the epitome of modern sports, as well. With fascinating
analogies and anecdotes from football, basketball, tennis, cycling,
and more, A Moral Theory of Sports offers a unique interpretation
of human nature and our love affair with sports.
