Description

Explore the evolving relationship between human progress and free time in The Idea of Leisure: First Principles. Published by Routledge, this work examines the arguments made by thinkers in philosophy, religion, and the social sciences regarding the improvement of the human condition. While many argue that science, technology, and social organization lead to increased happiness and better quality of life, the role of leisure is often overlooked in discussions of progress. This book investigates the assumption that leisure is an integral part of the social order. It proposes that leisure can serve as a singular vector to measure human advancement, even though it is rarely mentioned in writings about the idea of progress. For readers interested in anthropology, sociology, and the social sciences, this text offers a unique perspective on how our use of time reflects our societal success and the application of human skill and reason.
