Play in a Godless world : the theory and practice of play in Shakespeare, Nietzsche and Freud
Bates, Catherine, 1964-1999

This text challenges the long tradition which sees human play as the fount of creativity and origin of all civilization. The book traces the history of an alternative theory of play in Shakespeare, Nietzsche and Freud, where play is an end in itself - a cultivation of aesthetic forms.
