摘要:Since its publication in 1978, Bernard Suits's The Grasshopper has become a classic in the philosophy of sport. In the book, Suits aims to provide a traditional definition of games to counter the anti-definitionalist position that Ludwig Wittgenstein proposes in his Philosophical Investigations. 1 Given the interest of sport philosophers and kinesiologists in the main features of games, a large debate quickly sprang from Suits's work and it became a seminal book in the discipline. His analysis of the so-called "tricky triad," which refers to the relationship between play, games, and sport, is foundational. The major role Suits's definition has played in the philosophy of sport has a downside. 2 Kinesiologists and sport philosophers have focused on concrete details of games, but neglected other philosophical aspects of Suits's work
