Watching Sport (eBook, ePUB)

Aesthetics, Ethics and Emotion

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The philosophy of sport has tended to focus on participation, but this book instead examines the philosophical issues around watching sport. Far from being a passive experience, we can all shape the way that we see sport. Delving into parallels with art and theatre, this book outlines the aesthetic qualities of sport from the incidental beauty of a well-executed football pass to the enshrined artistic interpretation in performed sports such as ice-skating and gymnastics. Addressing universal themes such as aesthetics, morality and collective emotional experience this book will appeal to a broad audience across philosophical disciplines and sports studies.
