Beskrivning

The book attempts to provide a wide overview of key ethical matters in the philosophy of sport: What is fair play? Is strategic fouling legitimate? What is the role of cheating and gamesmanship in sport? What can be said about doping and physical enhancement? How can we approach gender issues that come from the core of the practice of sport? Does sport share any common characteristics, or even roots, with racism, violence, or nationalism? Should cyborgathletes compete in equal conditions with organic athletes? What can we do with new technologies in sport? In the book there is an analyse of all possible solutions that the main authors or contemporary sport philosopher has brought forward on a topic, and after having laid out the current panorama, the author deal with each of them directly and personally.

Recensioner i media

The first book in English by Professor Pérez Triviño is very much welcomed. The Challenges of Modern Sport to Ethics: From Doping to Cyborgs examines some of the most pressing current ethical challenges in sport as well as those looming on the athletic horizon. At the same time, it manifests the challenges that sport poses to ethical thinking. Pérez Triviño writes clearly and his arguments are as rigorous as they are thought-provoking. This book is of value to established scholars and could serve as an engaging reading assignment in both graduate and undergraduate classrooms.
