Question
A 2016 paper by Eric Moore argues that one theory can accommodate this action while maintaining the logical incompatibility thesis. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this action, which in basketball has “personal,” “technical,” and “flagrant” varieties. A major debate in the philosophy of sport concerns whether performing this action intentionally, for example, to stop the clock, constitutes cheating.
ANSWER: fouling [accept “Formalism and strategic fouls”]
[10h] Proponents of a theory named for this concept hold that strategic fouling is sometimes permissible due to the significance of unwritten rules. David Lewis’ first book, which argues that social situations are “coordination problems,” is titled for “A Philosophical Study” of this concept.

ANSWER: Ludwig Wittgenstein
