Description
Return of the Grasshopper Games, Leisure and the Good Life in the Third Millennium by Bernard Suits In this thought-provoking sequel to his influential work The Grasshopper, Bernard Suits explores fundamental philosophical questions about the value of sport and games, their relationship to a fulfilling life, and how they can provide comfort against the fear of death. Suits delves into the in-depth implications of his definition of utopia, examining the merits of a gamified philosophy and revealing how games can offer an existential balm. He also shares his underlying worldview, which posits that humanity is forever fated to endure a cyclical existence of privation due to material scarcity and boredom. This book provides valuable insight into the human condition and is essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophy of sport, leisure, play, political philosophy, ethics, existentialism or utopian studies.
