Questions such as these and many others are posed and examined by the contributors to this volume. Some are sceptical of future developments in sport and demand radical reforms to halt progress, others are more optimistic and propose that sport should adapt to new advances just as other realms of the cultural sphere have to.\u003cbr\u003eSome of the topics examined here, such as the genetic engineering of athletes, and the significance of the public's fascination with sport winners, are being discussed for the first time, whilst others such as sex segregation, nationalism and doping are being revisited and reintroduced onto the agenda after a period of suggestive silence.\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides the reader with a deep insight into the moral and ethical value we place on sport in today's society. Challenging and demanding, its contributors urge us to think again about current sports practices and the future of sport as a cultural phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaudio Tamburrini is a Senior Researcher at the Department of Philosophy, Stockholm University and the author of several international articles on issues of penal philosophy and sport philosophy.\u003cbr\u003eTorbjörn Tännsjö is Professor of Practical Philosophy at Stockholm University and has published extensively on moral philosophy, political philosophy and medical ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.33 x 6.16 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 17, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42191509160016,"sku":"9780419253709","price":136.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/R3Y1blpZRm9KUE16cTFFdXUvM2srdz09.webp?v=1774921985","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/values-in-sport-elitism-nationalism-gender-equality-and-the-scientific-manufacturing-of-winners-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
