The Grasshopper

Games, Life and Utopia

Bernard Suits

Explore the philosophy of games and discover their true essence in this insightful book. Bernard Suits argues that playing a game is a voluntary attempt to overcome unnecessary obstacles, and in doing so, it becomes a central part of the ideal human existence. With a playful yet stimulating approach, Suits demonstrates that games can be meaningfully defined and should be at the heart of any vision of Utopia. Originally published in 1978, this re-issued edition includes new material from the author, expanding on his ideas and answering questions raised by critics.

@Boulot_Dodo Glad someone finally chose the Grasshopper. I love that book. Feel cheated no one recommended it when I was an undergraduate.      source
