Description

Explore a fresh perspective on a topic often overlooked in modern philosophy. Games, Sports, and Play: Philosophical Essays brings together new academic contributions that examine the nature of competition and recreation. This volume from the Engaging Philosophy series looks at what makes games and sports unique compared to other human activities. Readers will find deep analysis regarding the conceptual foundations of play. Many essays build upon or offer new perspectives to Bernard Suits's famous work, The Grasshopper.
