  1. Of Values and Commercialisation: An Exploration of Esports’ Place within the Olympic Movement.Cem Abanazir - 2021 - Sport, Ethics and Philosophy 16 (4):397-412.
    Esports’ rise in popularity has led the Olympic Movement (OM) to consider esports as a possible addition to the Olympic programme. A positive stance on the part of the OM towards certain aspects of esports has become apparent in recent years. However, the OM has expressly stated that while it is values-based, the esports industry is commercially driven. This article aims to take a tenable step towards the conceptualisation of the relationship between esports and ‘values’. Moreover, it weighs esports’ potential (...)

  • A Well Balanced Life Based on 'The Joy of Effort': Olympic Hype or a Meaningful Ideal?Sigmund Loland - 2012 - Sport, Ethics and Philosophy 6 (2):155-165.
    A key goal in the Olympic value system of Olympism is the all-round cultivation of the individual. According to its so-called ?fundamental principles?, Olympism is a ?philosophy of life? with ideals of ?exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will, and mind? and creating ?a way of life based on the joy of effort?. These goals are to be reached by blending sport with culture and education. Olympism is often criticised for idealism and lack of impact (...)
