First sentence: The idea that sports help build moral character is an ancient one, finding some support even in the dialogs of Plato, who declared in the Republic that "there are two arts which I would say some god gave to mankind, music and gymnastics...not for the soul and body incidentally, but for their harmonious adjustment."
Description: The essays in this book examine philosophical issues that are conceptual and ethical in nature and further examine ethical issues in sports, such as sportsmanship, violence, cheating, drug use, racism, sexism and gender equity.
