«Vals Spel» is Bert Wagendorp's essay on sport, power and money, published by Ambo|Anthos in paperback (112 pages, in Dutch).
The essay addresses deception in sport through cases such as Lance Armstrong or the stadiums of Qatar. Wagendorp takes up Johan Huizinga's warning in 'Homo Ludens': technical professionalization threatens the spirit of the game. Sport, money, scandals and violence dominate the agenda, and the author asks whether this drift can be reversed.
Ninth volume of the philosophy series 'Nieuw Licht', which updates classic texts for the contemporary world. Originally published on January 18, 2018.
For readers of philosophical essays and for those who follow the debate on the role of sport in society.
