{"product_id":"soccer-and-philosophy-beautiful-thoughts-on-the-beautiful-game-9780812696769","title":"Soccer and Philosophy: Beautiful Thoughts on the Beautiful Game","description":"This collection of incisive articles gives a leading team of international philosophers a free kick toward exploring the complex and often hidden contours of the world of soccer. What does it really mean to be a fan (and why should we count Aristotle as one)? Why do great players such as Cristiano Ronaldo count as great artists (up there alongside Picasso, one author argues)? From the ethics of refereeing to the metaphysics of bent (like Beckham) space-time, this book shows soccer fans and philosophy buffs alike new ways to appreciate and understand the world's favorite sport.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Richards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Court\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Popular Culture \u0026amp; Philosophy #51\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.28w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812696769","brand":"Open Court","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711210098825,"sku":"9780812696769","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_c17849bc-2753-4327-8250-fab0860a9322.jpg?v=1719564224","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/soccer-and-philosophy-beautiful-thoughts-on-the-beautiful-game-9780812696769","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
