Sport, Law and Philosophy

"Miroslav Imbrisevic's smartly edited new collection of essays,?Sport, Law and Philosophy: The Jurisprudence of Sport, is a most welcome addition to the philosophy of sport literature. Its distinctive contribution in this regard is the jurisprudential perspective it brings to bear on that literature, in which legal concepts, principles, and problems that range from prices and sanctions, to legal interpretation of texts, to issues of adjudicatory discretion, figure prominently in the analysis of sport. What is most promising about this jurisprudential take on sport is not only the light it sheds on issues presently debated in the philosophy of sport such as tactical fouls and transgender athletes, but on the exploration and investigation of novel problems and issues in sport it makes possible that have so far eluded the notice, let alone the attention, of philosophers not steeped in the philosophy of law."

"This collection of essays is intellectually fascinating. It combines philosophical approaches with practical problems of different kinds of sports: doping, rules of sports, the importance of team play, VAR rules, among many others. A great introduction to a fantastic topic and a remarkable effort that would be recognized in the next few years."

Gustavo Beade,Professor of Law/Universidad Austral de Chile

"Imbrisevic has put together an informative, enlightening, engaging, and well-balanced volume that simultaneously touches all the grounding topics of the philosophical examination of law and sport, and discusses the most teasing present issues such as VAR technology, 'change of nationality' rules, referee discretion, and strategic fouling. Beyond any doubt, we received a highly important contribution to the specialized field which instantly became an important piece of the literature."
