Instrumentality and Values in Sport

Original language description

This book considers the role of instrumentality in sport and its influence on the athlete and values in sport. Instrumentality is defined as a means and ends relationship, and it is discussed from the perspective of the logical structure of sport. Two levels of instrumentality in sport are researched (extrinsic and intrinsic instrumentality) as well as values with respect to the two kinds of instrumentality (the extrinsic values of sport and the intrinsic values of sport). I discuss a wide range of problems arising from the instrumental nature of sport, and their effect upon intrinsic values and the human being. Next, I explore various strategies for reinforcing the intrinsic values of sport by 'balancing' the instrumentality in sport, i.e. putting appropriate emphasis on both means and ends.
