Rezension

From the book reviews:

“The book collects contributions of different authors with diverging points of views … providing a rich analysis of one of the most controversial aspects of sports. … For those who work in the field of clinical bioethics (i.e., clinical ethics consultants or ethics committee members) and for those who are interested in implementing the knowledge of the relation between sport and doping, this book may serve as a very useful tool for in-depth analysis of these ethical issues.” (Luciana Caenazzo, Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, Vol. 35, 2014)

“This edited book presents a thorough discussion of enhanced athletics in relation to different conceptions of human nature. … The diversity of perspectives and approaches this book presents are meant to reach a wide range of readers. From philosophers to anthropologists to policy-makers, different sections will challenge and engage readers from a broad spectrum of scholarly backgrounds. … This book is an excellent comprehensive look at the debate, and it is particularly successful in presenting a diversity of frameworks.” (Heidi R. Pieroni, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2013)
