Albert Camus asserted that it was through playing soccer that he learned all that he knew "about morality and the obligations of men." This seminar explores and critically evaluates the nature and value of bodily practices in general, and of sports in particular. What is it to play a sport? Do such practices lead to a useful kind of knowledge - and, if so, what kind, and how? What are teams, and how should we think about the roles of fans, referees, and luck? What is sportsmanship, and why should we care about it?
