According to Roger Caillois, play is "an occasion of pure waste: waste of time, energy, ingenuity, skill, and often of money." In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development. In this classic study, Caillois defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life. Play is uncertain, since the outcome may not be foreseen, and it is governed by rules that provide a level playing field for all participants. In its most basic form, play consists of finding a response to the opponent's action - or to the play situation - that is free within the limits set by the rules. Caillois qualifies types of games - according to whether competition, chance, simulation, or vertigo (being physically out of control) is dominant - and ways of playing, ranging from the unrestricted improvisation characteristic of children's play to the disciplined pursuit of solutions to gratuitously difficult puzzles. Caillois also examines the means by which games become part of daily life and ultimately contribute to various cultures their most characteristic customs and institutions. Presented here in Meyer Barash's superb English translation, "Man, Play and Games" is a companion volume to Caillois' "Man and the Sacred".

四个分类里一定要搞两个希腊语一个拉丁语一个英语，分完觉得还不行，不完整，再分两类又是一个希腊语一个拉丁语，挺想笑的不是很清楚为什么（在1961年的时代背景下批判1938年的Homo Ludens，但其实基本延伸了前人的核心；对比足见Huizinga无疑是古典的、虔诚的、理想的，从康德席勒游戏冲动延伸下来，又在麦克卢汉那里得到真正的当代延伸（我瞎说的
