Far Too Easily Pleased was originally published in 1976, although
it is just as relevant today. CUA Press is thrilled to be able to
bring this book back into print. To summarize the volume we can do
better than to excerpt part of Fr. Schall's introduction to the
1976 edition: This book is intended to be a helpful stimulus to
incite the reader to survey the truly exciting literature in this
field and to assist in organizing personal reflection about the
basic themes of game, play, wonder, rite, contemplation and
festivity, themes that the theology of play naturally suggests. For
it can be truly said that those who have not yet been initiated
into this style of religious and cultural thought have been missing
highly liberating and ennobling levels of our heritage. For those
who already know what rewards are to be found in play and game, it
is hoped that this book can again be a fresh and different approach
to wonder and fascination, to the curiously marvelous life we have
been given. James V. Schall, SJ, (1928-2019) was an American Jesuit
Roman Catholic priest, teacher, writer, and philosopher. He retired
in 2012 after a long tenure as a professor of political philosophy
at Georgetown University Among his many books are The Universe We
Think In; Political Philosophy and Revelation: A Catholic Reading;
The Mind That Is Catholic: Philosophical and Political Essays;
Schall on Chesterton: Timely Essays on Timeless Paradoxes and At
the Limits of Political Philosophy: From "Brilliant Errors" To
Things of Uncommon Importance (all CUA Press).
