So why do sports fans attach such great importance to whether their team wins or loses?</li><li>Do sporting contests have meaning in the way works of art do?</li><li>Beauty is a central value in art.

He has contributed to numerous academic journals and handbooks, mainly in the areas of philosophy of mind and aesthetics. A lifelong interest in sport has led him to focus in recent years on the philosophy of sport.
