Suits’ Articles on Sport & Play

Mark Holowchak and Michael Barkasi are compiling a list of Suits’ articles on Phil/Sport stuff and articles by others who have critiqued Suits. Below is a list so far. If you have additional articles to add, please feel free to contact Mark at mholowchak@hotmail.com. A complete bibliography will be included in the upcoming special edition to JPS.

Also, Mark is planning on writing an article on Suits’ contribution to Phil/Sport and invites scholars in our area to write blurbs on Suits’ impact on their intellectual development in our discipline.
