See the link below for a collection of books in the philosophy of sport on Amazon. This is a list of academic works in the philosophy of sport. It is by no means complete, but is intended as an initial point of reference for some of the work done in this field. Some of these books are anthologies of previous journal articles, some are edited anthologies with unique works, and others are authored monographs. I will continue to add to the list as time permits. Here is the link: Philosophy of Sport

There is a growing body of work in the area of public philosophy of sport, that is, of writings that are philosophical in nature but intended to be accessible to those who are not scholars. Several of the popular philosophy series include volumes dedicated to sport (see list below). There is also a series of blog posts in progress over at The Football Scholars Forum on the intersection and collaboration of academics and journalists who write about soccer. Here are the links to the first 2 posts in the series: Soccernomics as model for academic/journalistic collaboration The Ivory Tower and the Press Box: Towards Total Futbol Writing I would add that the insights and examples of public philosophy of sport are instructive for any academic who is interested in writing for a popular audience. From my own experience, it can be rewarding and frustrating, and I've made some mistakes along the way in my own efforts, but it means a lot when readers take the time to contact you and say they...

Cesar Torres, editor of the recently published Bloomsbury Companion to the Philosophy of Sport , has a very nice piece on diving in soccer , from a few years back, which is well worth the read. Here's an excerpt: "It is logically contradictory to simultaneously accept the rules of soccer and to circumvent them when opportunities arise. Strictly speaking, this is the case with of all forms of cheating: intentionally breaking the rules surreptitiously to gain an advantage that would not probably be obtained otherwise. Divers, then, excuse themselves from following the rules and treat opponents simply as means to their own ends while avoiding the game’s core objective."

I have just posted a piece on diving over at my blog, Ethics for Everyone, which may be of interest to many followers of this blog. In it, I argue that diving is wrong because it is an especially egregious form of cheating, conflicts directly with the value of sportsmanship, and undermines the pursuit of an honorable victory.To see the whole article, go here .
