Double-weighted statement
Originally published as an entire special issue of a journal (2013), the monograph mounts a defence of sport as alienated philosophy through a series of distinct stages. Defending sport as a legitimate philosophical topic involved a complex conceptualisation of ‘sport’ and a distinctive Hegelian account of philosophy. The text needed to challenge traditional assumptions within the aesthetics of sport. A series of readings of Kantian aesthetics, Hegelianism and hermeneutics are then deployed to ground the culminating argument that sport is to be understood as a phenomenon akin to modernist art, requiring interpretation in order to explicate its philosophical content.
