Ethical and moral dilemmas in sport have not diminished since
Ethics in Sport was last published. The need to understand and
confront such issues is at a premium, and this latest edition of
Ethics in Sport will ground readers in the issues and the stakes
involved. Ethics in Sport has long been known as a go-to source
that tackles the moral and ethical issues in today's sport culture.
This third edition retains many of the previous editions'
thoughtful and timeless pieces, which speak directly to current
issues, while adding 17 new essays to the mix. The inclusion of
these new essays reflects the increasing sophistication of the
philosophy of sport literature as well as the growth in the field.
Together, these essays from well-known authors give students
classic and contemporary views of topics where sports and ethics
collide. This sweeping anthology of relevant and cutting-edge
essays covers a variety of topics, including doping, the use of
technology, gender controversies, and much more. The book is
organized into five parts, with part I looking at the nature of
sport, including its internal values and moral foundations. Part II
investigates competition and fair play, including aspects of
sportsmanship, winning, cheating, and gamesmanship. Part III
examines doping and genetic enhancement in sport, including gene
doping, "mechanical doping," and drug-enhanced performance. In part
IV the essays explore gender and sexual equality in sport,
including sex segregation and the concept of gender equality. Part
V delves into issues of race, spectatorship, and politics,
investigating political philosophy as it applies to sports, the
fascination with sports heroes, and the ethics of supporting teams.
Ethics in Sport, Third Edition, comes with an instructor guide that
includes a sample syllabus, sample assignment topics, and answers
to the discussion questions to facilitate class conversations. It
also offers suggested class assignments for each of the five parts
in the book to spur deeper discussion and understanding of the
ethical issues presented in the book. With its wealth of new
essays, Ethics in Sport keeps you abreast of current ethical issues
in sport. As such, this text is ideal for courses in sport ethics
and ethics in sport and philosophy. It is also useful as a
reference for scholars, researchers, ethicists, sociologists, and
philosophers of sport.
