Sažetak
In his latest edition of Ethics in Sport (Morgan, 2017) W. J. Morgan has included R. L. Simon's, J. S. Rusell's and his own articles on the topic of Normativity in Sport, giving a significant space to this essential debate for the Ethics of Sport. On one hand, there is R. L.Simon's “critically reflective” (Simon, 2000, 14) conception of “broad internalism” (ibid, 6) as a “basis for a critical evaluation of sporting practice” and “for an ethic of an athletic competition” (ibid, 15). Simon is relying upon rationally extracted internal values of sport, general principles of the nature and purpose of sport such as striving for excellence, as a guidance in hard normative cases and dilemmas in sport. On the other hand, W. J. Morgan in his "historicistic conventionalism" critique is pointing out that the rational base of the broad internalism is too general and abstract, and not situated in social context and conventions developed in the history of the sporting practice. Moreover, Morgan is showing how striving for excellence is perceived completely differently in amateur, professional and scientific sport. Thus, Morgan is proposing socializing and historizing every rationalization of the purpose and the essence of the sport. In his paper, firstly, the author is questioning in which ways does historicistic conventionalism affect broad internalism? Secondly, which are the convergent points between the two? And thirdly, is it scientifically possible and by which methods to extract, and unequivocally and unambiguously explain the essence of a sport without bringing into account social conventions and history?
