Acknowledging that play is central to our social lives, this is the third in a series of volumes that builds bridges between scholars of philosophy and scholars of play. It spans a range of philosophical areas of enquiry (metaphysics, aesthetics and ethics), covering topics such as the history of play, art as play, and play and the internet.
"I am sure that many other scholars and practitioners of play may be enchanted by reading here and there in this much welcome and highly commendable, and recommendable, work of play and play of work. The Philosophy at Play conference organizers and book editors, Emily Ryall, Wendy Russell, and Malcolm Maclean deserve high praise in deed for their great efforts in reviving play." - Ejgil Jespersen, Jozef Pilsudski University of Physical Education, idrottsforum.org
