Welcome to the website of the International Association for the Philosophy of Sport (IAPS).
Dear colleagues and friends,
Welcome to the International Association for the Philosophy of Sport (IAPS) website. Our mission is to cultivate an academic global community through our annual conference, newsletters and the “Journal of the Philosophy of Sport.” We bring together scholars from diverse backgrounds to explore significant questions in the philosophy of sport and related practices, including ethics, embodiment, competition, the nature and meaning of sport and play, and physical education.
Sports transcend mere physical activity. This concept unites people worldwide. We engage in philosophical research on sports, encourage global discussions, and support emerging scholars with innovative ideas in the field.
Whether you have been with us for a long time or are new here, we invite you to explore our activities. Join our events and read our publications to learn more. Help us shape the future of sport philosophy. We look forward to thinking, connecting, and growing with you in the future.
Warm wishes, on behalf of IAPS,
Takayuki Hata
