In Play and the Human Condition, Thomas Henricks brings together
ways of considering play to probe its essential relationship to
work, ritual, and communitas. Focusing on five contexts for
play--the psyche, the body, the environment, society, and
culture--Henricks identifies conditions that instigate play, and
comments on its implications for those settings. Offering a general
theory of play as behavior promoting self-realization, Henricks
articulates a conception of self that includes individual and
social identity, particular and transcendent connection, and
multiple fields of involvement. Henricks also evaluates play styles
from history and contemporary life to analyze the relationship
between play and human freedom. Imaginative and stimulating, Play
and the Human Condition shows how play allows us to learn about our
qualities and those of the world around us--and in so doing make
sense of ourselves.
