Abstract
If there is one argument that can be said to animate this book it is the contention that the world of sport not only in itself presents some challenging and fascinating questions, but also that it offers an important perspective from which to consider many of the more traditional philosophical themes. Drew Hyland skillfully frames those issues that deserve serious study and, in many instances, points the way toward a resolution of current controversies. This book could serve, therefore, as an excellent introductory textbook for those interested in this field.
