Seminar Programme
in 2004
Inaugural Lecture: "The Ethics and Politics of Olympism"
Dr. Jim Parry, 18 June 2004
"Few will have heard of 'Olympism', the philosophy developed
by the founder of the modern Olympic Movement, Baron Pierre de Coubertin,
a French aristocrat who had been much influenced by the British
Public School tradition of sport in education. This philosophy has
as its focus of interest not just the elite athlete, but everyone;
not just a short truce period, but the whole of life; not just competition
and winning, but also the values of participation and co-operation;
not just sport as an activity, but also as a formative and developmental
influence contributing to desirable characteristics of individual
personality and social life."
