The course introduces the topic of sport from the philosophical perspective. Its content deals with the definition of sport and its intrinsic structure of ends (means - ends relationships), and it explores the whole issue of the meaning of sports in human existence. The main topics are: instrumentality and values in sport, play and game, corporeality, harmony, and Olympism.
