Sport science is an interdisciplinary field. In this book, sport science as an academic field within social sciences and the humanities is discussed and problematized.

This book was published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
In this book questions about definitions and demarcations of sport science are discussed. Not the least the many normative ideas of sport as good or as bad are problematized in relation to the academic field. These ideas permeate sport science in ways that are not seen in other academic fields like history, sociology or law. In addition, if and if so, in what ways sport science influence social science in general. Does sport science bring new questions in relation to issues like "what makes a society possible" or "what is a human being"?
