Defining Sport: Conceptions and Borderlines is not about the
variations of usage of the term "sport." It is about the concept,
the range of activities in the world that we unite into one
idea-sport. It is through the project of defining sport that we can
come to understand these activities better, how they are similar or
different, and how they relate to other human endeavors. This
definitional inquiry, and the deeper appreciation and apprehension
of sport that follows, is the core of this volume. Part I examines
several of the standard and influential approaches to defining
sport. Part II uses these approaches to examine various challenging
borderline cases. These chapters examine the interplay of the
borderline cases with the definition and provide a more thorough
and clearer understanding of both the definition and the given
cases. This work is not meant to be the definitive or exhaustive
account of sport. It is meant to inspire further thought and debate
on just what sport is; how it relates to other activities and human
endeavors; and what we can learn about ourselves through the study
of sport. This book will be of interest to scholars in philosophy
of sport, history, communications, sociology, psychology, sports
management, cultural studies, and physical education.
