History and Philosophy of Sport and Physical Activity, Second
Edition With HKPropel Access, seamlessly blends the historical and
philosophical dimensions of the study of human movement. The text
follows a chronology of human movement from our origins as
hunter-gatherers to the present, offering philosophical and ethical
analyses alongside explorations of cultural shifts that have
emerged from different ethnic, racial, gender, and national
traditions. The second edition of History and Philosophy of Sport
and Physical Activity is ideal for instructors who teach history
and philosophy in a single course. Each chapter provides a
historical scaffolding that leads into philosophical discussions
about the issues raised. The text eschews dense blocks of text in
favor of accessible writing and an interactive student experience.
Updates to the latest edition include expanded coverage of
diversity, equity, and inclusion topics; a deeper exploration of
epistemology; a discussion of alternate forms of physical activity;
and new material about the ethics of research. Contemporary topics
of discussion such as the Exercise Is Medicine (EIM) movement,
athlete biodata collection, and transgender and nonbinary athletes
in sport are thoroughly explored. Discussion questions and study
questions at the end of each chapter challenge students to reflect
on the course material and share their ideas. Historical profile
sidebars throughout the chapters allow students to gain greater
insight into historical figures and events. Throughout the text,
students are prompted to access related online activities in
HKPropel. These short exercises connect philosophical inquiry to
historical events and modern-day issues and serve as important
tools for improving students’ reasoning skills. Instructors are
supported with a comprehensive instructor guide that includes
sample responses to the downloadable student exercises, section
references for the downloadable study questions, and sample
discussion and assignment prompts related to the discussion
questions. The instructor guide also includes ideas and
instructions for semester-long student projects. History and
Philosophy of Sport and Physical Activity, Second Edition, presents
a thorough integration of philosophy and history, capitalizing on
the strengths of both disciplines. Note: A code for accessing
HKPropel is included with this ebook.
This comprehensive volume explores the interface between sport and
religion, or more broadly, sport and spirituality. While most of
the contributions come from Western and Christian traditions, the
volume raises broader questions about the kinds of impact that
spirituality can and should have on sport, and equally, that sport
can and should have on spirituality. The authors put forth an
anti-dualistic message, one that argues against any vision of sport
and religion existing in separate domains. Mind interpenetrates
body, faith and love interpenetrate competition, spirituality and
the Divine can interpenetrate secular games. This positive book has
powerful implications for reforming contemporary sport,
particularly crass, extrinsically-driven, win-at-all-cost versions
of competition. It is a book about the incarnation, the paradoxical
existence of the spirit in the flesh, love in competition, the
myth-making power and meaning of games to engage the world,
transcendent hope found in kicking a ball around, and how sport as
a liturgy can mediate divine presence. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the journal Sport, Ethics and
Philosophy.

This new four-volume collection from Routledge includes the key
articles, book chapters, and other essays in the philosophy of
sport. It covers different areas of philosophy (e.g. ethics,
metaphysics); different enduring topics (e.g. what counts as fair
play, whether sport can be defined or not); different time periods
(early 'classic' articles and more modern contributions);
cross-cultural perspectives (authors from around the world); and a
topically diverse subject matter (including the phenomena of sport,
games, play, embodiment, and the like). Designed to acquaint new
students and more advanced researchers with the best literature
available, as well as a synopsis of what has attracted philosophic
attention, what is known, and what is still being analysed, the
collection will also help readers draw conclusions about what lies
ahead in the philosophy of sport. Including a new introduction by
the editors and fully indexed, this 'mini-library' of the very best
and most influential writings on the philosophy of sport is
destined to be valued by researchers and students as an essential
work of reference.

Philosophy: Sport is composed of nineteen chapters covering such
topics as cheating, gender equality, aesthetics, steroid use, and
spirituality. The use of film, literature, art, case studies, and
other disciplines or situations/events provide illustrations of
human experiences which work as gateways to questions philosophers
try to address. Chapters are written by eminent scholars, are peer
reviewed, and offer bibliographies to encourage further
exploration. Photos and line art help illuminate the text. The
volume concludes with a glossary and a comprehensive index.
