Philosophy of sport

Philosophy of sport is an area of philosophy that seeks to conceptually analyze issues of sport as human activity.

The philosophical perspective on sport originated in Ancient Greece, having experienced a revival in the latter part of the 20th century^[1] with the work of Paul Weiss and Howard Slusher.^[2]^[3]
