Made up of contributions from leading international thinkers and inviting readers to explore the presumptions often attached to play and playfulness, the book considers ways that play in 'virtual' and 'real' worlds can inform understandings of each, critiquing established norms and encouraging scepticism about the practice and experience of play.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrganised around four central themes -- play(ing) at the limits, aesthetics, metaphysics\/ontology and ethics -- the book extends and challenges notions of play by drawing on issues emerging in sport, gaming, literature, space and art, with specific attention paid to disruption and danger. It is intended to provide scholars and practitioners working in the spheres of play, education, games, sport and related subjects with a deeper understanding of philosophical thought and to open dialogue across these disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm MacLean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138707597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138707597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Malcolm MacLean","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44491501601023,"sku":"9781138707597","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0172469-07e8-4021-8e24-7cea8698785f.jpg?v=1699451556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philosophical-perspectives-on-play-malcolm-maclean-9781138707597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
