A Philosophy Of Play (1920)

A Philosophy of Play, written by Luther Halsey Gulick and first published in 1920, is a comprehensive exploration of the importance of play in human life. The book delves into the various forms of play, including games, sports, and other recreational activities, and analyzes their significance from a philosophical perspective. Gulick argues that play is not simply a leisure activity, but a vital component of human development and socialization. He explains how play can foster creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills, and can also promote physical health and well-being. The book also examines the role of play in education, and how it can be used to enhance learning and encourage personal growth. Throughout the book, Gulick draws on his extensive experience as a physical education instructor and administrator, as well as his broader knowledge of psychology, sociology, and philosophy. A Philosophy of Play remains a seminal work in the field of play studies, and continues to be widely read and cited today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
