The course is accredited by Swansea University. Course leader: Dr. John William Devine (Swansea University).
This module develops an understanding of the need for ethical theory in sports ethics and of the role that the theories of deontology, consequentialism, rights theory and virtue ethics play within the organization of sport, and in the experience of sporting competitions. Students will come to appreciate the often hidden role that ethical theory plays in critical argumentation about key ethical issues in sports and sport integrity.
The module aims to introduce students critically to essential philosophical material on the nature and values of sport, and to situate the complex issues of sport integrity and ethics within the broader landscape of ethical theories. The module will serve as the theoretical foundation for the whole degree.
