Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper I defend an Irreconcilability Thesis, claiming that two commonly held views about athletic contests are in fact incompatible. The first view is that athletic contests are essentially comparative tests of athletic skill. The second view is that the best contests are close contests. I take the second view to be true, hence I contend that the Irreconcilability Thesis shows that there is something wrong with the first view. I conclude by suggesting that the thesis has interesting implications regarding the value of winning an athletic contest, since that value cannot adequately be accounted for in terms of the athletic skill that yields victory.

竞技技巧与势均力敌的价值

摘要在本文中，我为一篇不可调和的论文辩护，声称两种普遍持有的关于体育竞赛的观点实际上是不相容的。第一种观点认为，体育竞赛本质上是对运动技能的比较测试。第二种观点认为，最好的竞争是势均力敌的竞争。我认为第二种观点是正确的，因此我认为不可调和论点表明第一种观点有问题。最后，我认为这篇论文对赢得体育比赛的价值有着有趣的启示，因为这个价值不能用产生胜利的运动技能来充分解释。
