Considering rival concepts of sport, it presents detailed, illustrative studies of various types of sporting or athletic activity - including soccer, cricket, rugby and track and field - to advance an alternative sociological understanding of sport rooted in the philosophies and theories of critical realism and critical theory. As such, \u003cem\u003eA Critical Realist Theory of Sport\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to scholars of sociology and social theory with interests in sport, research methods and critical realist thought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45242204815511,"sku":"9780367743185","price":3320.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367743185.webp?v=1769231397","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-critical-realist-theory-of-sport-9780367743185","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
