This final chapter reiterates the case for suicide research in the interdisciplinary field of PACS and offers an original meta-theory of peace praxis termed Encounter Theory. From, here sport philosophy found its way to Norway and through this and along several other roads to other Nordic countries. In several ways 1972 was a turning point for philosophy of sport as a serious academic discipline and for my own interest in.

In 1973 the first issue of Journal of Philosophy of Sport was published (35). Soon after the Munich conference some American philosophers convened to launch the Philosophic Society for the Study of Sport. The congress in Munch and Hans Lenk's presentation of sport as a suitable philosophic topic became decisive for my own lifelong interest in philosophy of sport. The German philosopher Hans Lenk gave a presentation of a broad array of past and present interpretations of sport from a philosophic viewpoint (49). The organizers presented a book Sport in Blickpunkt der Wissenschaften (Sport from a Scientific Point of View) that summarized history and state of the art of the main sport scientific approaches (41 ). For the first time science and sport were brought together in connection with the Olympic Games. In 1972 I attended the Pre-Olympic Scientific Congress in Munich.
