“Vince Lombardi—who relished his undergraduate studies in philosophy—would have loved this book.” —Booklist
Football and Philosophy: Going Deep investigates many of the issues surrounding the nation’s biggest sport. From a review of the flaws of the Bowl Championship Series, to a study of the violence inherent in the game, to an examination of Vince Lombardi’s views on winning, to the problems created by the development of instant replay, the essays in this collection tackle the moral and philosophical principles behind gridiron competition. The result is an insightful, humorous, and original book that will engage all fans of the game.
“Insightful and informative, as well as provocative and entertaining.” —Charles Taliaferro, author of Consciousness and the Mind of God

Quotes

  • Aleks Undsethas quoted7 years ago
    The value of competition: The test of competition spurs the pursuit of personal excellence. Only through competition can we maximize our higher capabilities. We must conquer ourselves before we can master others, and competitive contexts are exercises in self-discovery and self-mastery.
