Losing on Competing against oneself From Philosophical Perspective of Informal fair play
Abstract:
In modern sports, there are many doubtful phenomena in which winning and losing are not clear, like winning because of doping goes unnoticed by others. The matter of this phenomenon is asked for a philosophical perspective more than anything. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify why doubtful winning is not truly winning, but losing based on the competition against oneself. To this purpose, this paper will review the concept of fair play in modern sports in the first chapter, relations between fair play and competing against oneself in the second chapter, and meaning of informal fair play in the last chapter. In consequence, this paper suggests that there is self-negation when making a judgment on winning and losing based on the competition against oneself.
