Return of the Grasshopper Games Leisure and the Good Life in the Third Millennium

Return of the Grasshopper Games Leisure and the Good Life in the Third Millennium

In this sequel to Bernard Suits’ timeless classic philosophical work The Grasshopper: Games Life and Utopia published in its full and unabridged form for the first time Suits continues to explore some of our most fundamental philosophical questions including the value of sport and games and their relationship to the good life. In Return of the Grasshopper Suits puts his theoretical cards on the table exploring the in-depth implications of his definition of utopia assessing the merits of a gamified philosophy and explaining how games can provide an existential balm against the fear of death. Perhaps most importantly for the first time in print Suits reveals his underlying worldview: that humanity is forever fated to endure a cyclical existence of privation brought on by material scarcity and boredom resulting from material plenitude. An essential companion to The Grasshopper this edition includes an introductory chapter that puts Suits’ life and work into context helping the reader to understand why Suits has had such a profound influence on contemporary philosophy and how his ideas still provide powerful insight into the human condition. This book is important reading for anybody with an interest in the philosophy of sport leisure and play political philosophy ethics existentialism or utopian studies. | Return of the Grasshopper Games Leisure and the Good Life in the Third Millennium
