In the philosophy of sport, students examine the nature and values of human movement utilizing the nonempirical methods of philosophers. Areas of emphasis include:
- the ethics of sport
- mind-body holism and its implications for professional practice
- the significance of tacit knowledge
- comparisons of sport with art
- the unique values of games and play
Some of the faculty have been active in the founding and early years of their respective professional organizations: the North American Society for Sport History and the International Association for the Philosophy of Sport (originally the Philosophic Society for the Study of Sport).
