Conceptual and theoretical framework -- pt. 2. Transgressing the limits of human nature -- pt. 3. The normative value of human nature -- pt. 4. Socio-cultural and empirical approaches -- pt. 5. Practices and policies.The book provides an in-depth discussion on the human nature concept from different perspectives and from different disciplines, analyzing its use in the doping debate and researching its normative overtones. The relation between natural talent and enhanced abilities is scrutinized within a proper conceptual and theoretical framework: is doping to be seen as a factor of the athlete’s dehumanization or is it a tool to fulfill his/her aspirations to go faster, higher and stronger? Which characteristics make sports such a peculiar subject of ethical discussion and what are the, both intrinsic and extrinsic, moral dangers and opportunities involved in athletic enhancement? This volume combines fundamental philosophical anthropological reflection with applied ethics and socio-cultural and empirical approaches. Furthermore it presents guidelines to decision- and policy-makers on local, national and international levels.International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine,1567-8008 ;52Doping in sportsDrug abuseEthicsSports medicineDoping in sports.Drug abuse.Ethics.Sports medicine.174.9796Tolleneer J(Jan)1459035Sterckx Sigrid1693963Bonte Pieter1751600MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438333703321Athletic enhancement, human nature and ethics4186594UNINA
