Too Much Playing Games – A Response to Kretchmar
Sport, Ethics and Philosophy 14 (2):264-268 (2020)
Abstract
Scott Kretchmar recently put forth a new definition of what it is to play a game. Unfortunately, it must be rejected. In this paper, I show that this new definition is far too broad by discussing an activity that is not an instance of playing a game but is wrongfully ruled as one on this new definition.Author's Profile
