Play is not only a kind of activity, but also a set of attitudes.
We may join a card game in a casino without assuming a play
attitude; conversely we may transform a seemingly tedious action,
such as a walk to the store, into a pleasant experience of
spontaneous movements by adopting an attitude of play. Attitudes of
Play is a comprehensive study of the persistent human tendency to
bring a cheerful and good-humoured outlook to any kind of
situation, including the serious and the mundane. Gabor Csepregi
offers a phenomenological description of forms of playfulness,
showing how, time and again, our attitudes of play redefine and
shape diverse activities and experiences - from teaching, healing,
or worshipping to political conflict or walking down the street.
With play attitudes, we exercise our freedom to colour these scenes
or give them an altogether new form, evoking in us more refined
sentiments and more acute perceptions. This book seeks to
distinguish play activities from attitudes of play, showing that
the latter hold value not merely for their educational or other
instrumental benefits but also, and perhaps most importantly, for
the overall fulfillment and well-being they offer in all stages of
human existence.
