Abstract
The ethics of competition in sports remains a critical discourse in contemporary society, especially within the context of physical education. This research endeavours to explore the concept of fair play and sportsmanship through a Kantian ethical framework. Grounded in Immanuel Kant's moral philosophy, particularly his emphasis on duty and respect for others as rational beings, this study examines the ethical dimensions inherent in competitive sports. Through a thorough examination of Kantian principles such as the categorical imperative and the concept of treating others as ends in themselves rather than means to an end, this research elucidates the ethical obligations of athletes, coaches, and stakeholders in fostering fair play and sportsmanship. Moreover, it delves into the role of physical education in cultivating moral character and virtue through sporting activities. By analysing real-world examples and ethical dilemmas in sports, this study offers insights into the application of Kantian ethics to promote integrity, respect, and justice in competitive environments. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the on-going discourse on the ethical foundations of sportsmanship and fair play, providing a Kantian perspective that informs ethical decision-making and behaviour in physical education and competitive sports
