Description
Playful behaviour and playful thought play a significant role in animal and human development. This book explores how non-aggressive playful play relates to creativity and innovation, shedding new light on their links. The authors examine the significance of playfulness in creativity, distinguishing between generating novel behaviour and ideas, and implementing these novelties. They also investigate the role of play in child development and explore parallels with humour, dreaming, and altered states of consciousness. A final chapter looks forward to future research, highlighting the importance of this fascinating field and the discoveries yet to be made.
