Introduction
This paper reflects the results of the long-term
study of ethics in sport and the phenomenon of Fair Play as an area of
general ethics, including the Project of Global Ethos [1].
Methods
Theoretical analysis, participant observation.
Results
The following concepts were determined and will be covered in the full
text of the paper:
1. Concept of types of ethical principles of sport: determining the
ethics of play; demanding a concrete act; referred to fans.
2. Concept of areas of athlete’s conduct: playing, regulated by
rules; the area of a moral choice in which an athlete stays as a personality;
area of all types of fraud and/or cheating.
3. Concept of doping abuse prevention and penalizing as a part of state
judicial systems [2].
4. Concept of Fair Play as the guild or cooperative standards in sport.
5. Concept of extrapolation of principles of Fair Play in sport to daily
life for forming of the future global ethos.
Discussion/Conclusions
The centrizm prevailing in the human community will
allow us to work out the typology of principles of real, not utopian,
Fair Play in various spheres of daily life. It is supposed that Fair Play
principles implemented into daily life could become a paradigm of ethics
of the 21st century.
