                                         was introduced to him by Johan Huizinga  Dutch historian

“Nevertheless, as we have already pointed out, the consciousness of play being ‘only pretend’ does not in any way prevent it from proceeding with the utmost seriousness…”

play is fundamental

a primary element of human culture

essential for the development of civilization  art  society  law


he rarely knew or recalled how he arrived at his departures as his inquiriespractise was random scattershot
    although when Huizinga was mentioned as he read about French Situationists game – play  they were
too appealing to be overlooked
right up his alley

 

homo ludens man the player versus homo sapiens sapiens

                                                                     if he had to be a homo
