Agon Lost - or in Disguise? A Commentary
Thanks to John W. Loy one of the recurrent themes in Institute of Scandinavian Physical Culture (ISPC) was "agon". First, I offer some old Nordic examples on games - possibly with an agonal element. Then I focus on moral and character in order to identify some sort or a vestige of agon and...
