Welcome back to episode 2 of our Sports Philosophy Series. My guest today is David Papineau. David is a Philosophy Professor at King’s College in London as well as a professional paid philosopher. He has more recently delved into philosophy of sport with his book Knowing the Score. It is an extremely fascinating book that uses Sports to find the answers to common philosophical questions and using philosophy to answer common questions of sport. He has an extremely interesting and refreshing perspective that I really enjoyed during the conversation. We mostly discuss some of the topics in Knowing the Score, such as his control-action theory, morality, teamwork, and even amateurism. Again, it was a blast to have David on the show and I cannot stress enough to go and purchase his book Knowing the Score. The cover has ancient philosophers pictured with different athletic balls. Anyways please enjoy my conversation with David Papineau on another episode of the Captains Coach Podcast.
