Philosophical Perspectives on Play builds on the disciplinary and
paradigmatic bridges constructed between the study of philosophy
and play in The Philosophy of Play (Routledge, 2013) to develop a
richer understanding of the concept and nature of play and its
relation to human life and value. Made up of contributions from
leading international thinkers and inviting readers to explore the
presumptions often attached to play and playfulness, the book
considers ways that play in 'virtual' and 'real' worlds can inform
understandings of each, critiquing established norms and
encouraging scepticism about the practice and experience of play.
Organised around four central themes -- play(ing) at the limits,
aesthetics, metaphysics/ontology and ethics -- the book extends and
challenges notions of play by drawing on issues emerging in sport,
gaming, literature, space and art, with specific attention paid to
disruption and danger. It is intended to provide scholars and
practitioners working in the spheres of play, education, games,
sport and related subjects with a deeper understanding of
philosophical thought and to open dialogue across these
disciplines.
