Recenzii

Praise for the fourth edition:

"It is a great work of scholarship: thorough, well-thought out, very well organized, very respectful of athletes & non-athletes alike. Pitches to a broad audience, very accessible. Even when the topics are philosophically meaty, Simon, Torres, and Hager are patient with taking sufficiently long enough for a clear explanation. I believe the book encourages civil, reflective, engaged discussion. It is extremely relevant to modern U.S. society, particularly when including the commercialization of sport and even a small section on business ethics."
Catherine Sherron, Thomas More College

"Simon, Torres, and Hager meticulously detail important ethical concepts without sacrificing appeal to a more general sport-loving audience. The book also strikes a nice balance between theory and application. Where other books attempt to balance theory and application by equally dividing up the content into categories of theory and applied cases, Fair Play thoughtfully addresses applied cases in tandem with more theoretical considerations. This blended approach is, in my mind, an excellent example of how philosophy ought to be performed, and is one reason why I choose this book. It is an excellent model for both beginning and advanced philosophy students alike."
Joan Grassbaugh Forry, University of Southern California
