Valentin Pozaić ; Filozofsko-teološki institut Družbe Isusove u Zagrebu, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

The author points out the fact that sport in today's world is of manifold significance not only for those who are involved in it, but also for those who enjoy watching it. The field of sports encompasses not only the individual's athletic skill and ability, but also his intelligence and feelings, that is, man in the entirety of his person. From this it is evident that the area of sports should be considered its own distince moral sphere in human life. The author, then, analyzes the positive and negative views of sporting activities, of dangerous sports and of dangerous activities related to sports. If attention in sport is ultimately focused on the good of the human person, it is then ethically ad morally not only acceptable but also very desirable.
