Aristotle is probably going to come in at some point, I'll probably be arguing that sportsmanship is a virtue that sportsmen and woman should try to achieve, but I don't think I'll go too far into that. I haven't read any Kuhn yet, but I think you've given me some homework to do! As for football and money, I have a very interesting lecture on money later this term, so it'll have to wait until after that I'm afriad!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775940474555456495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002711063714089391.post-39124621675804496552011-02-05T04:07:49.936-08:002011-02-05T04:07:49.936-08:00Looking forward to this.

Another topic that deserves philosophical analysis would be money in football (and indeed, the whole idea of whether the sport can properly be regarded as a business or not).<br /><br />I had a mad idea to try and develop a post on Aristotelian Ethics and Football but had to abandon the idea due to a the entry in the Stanford Encyclopaedia's sheer density (I should probably have tried the similar volumes issued by my own company Routledge) but our blog will be returning to weightier ideas such as political science and football + a lot of economics. I also think the idea from Kuhn on paradigm shifts as far as received wisdom surrounding attitudes in the game is concerned has mileage.Lanterne Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271087400817366388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002711063714089391.post-36758352016309801122011-02-04T17:39:21.919-08:002011-02-04T17:39:21.919-08:00Thanks William.

I was using diving as a good example of the everyday football topics that actually have a philosophical base, but I really want to look at it more detail in the future. The controversy mainly centres around does the end (the freekick) justify the means (the dive), and similarly is deliberate cheating a valid tatic in sport? Will definatly have something on this soon(ish)!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775940474555456495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002711063714089391.post-60367695977547479202011-02-04T14:21:20.406-08:002011-02-04T14:21:20.406-08:00Excellent stuff again Richard.

I wonder if a philosophical treatment of diving could bring in the cultural differences in sport whereby sometimes it's not the offence that is frowned upon, but the getting caught.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564206651128166186noreply@blogger.com
