La escoba y el caballo: algunas reflexiones sobre la humanidad del juego

Abstract

Starting from the premise that the term"play" can mean practically anything, the author reflects on the topic of play using the concepts of freedom, play community, exhibition and simulation. Play is not an exclusively human activity. However, there is a human way of playing, which has been the subject of debate throughout the history of thought. The human aspects of play could be consid-ered a demonstration of freedom through the acceptance of rules.
