Produktbeschreibung
An English proverb states that adults differ from children only in the value of their toys. A toy is a thing familiar to each of us from childhood; it is simple, understandable, subservient to man. But its simplicity and comprehensibility are deep and meaningful. It is a toy that transmits the cultural experience from generation to generation with its material language; in fact, it is the first thing of culture. The "father" of the Russian toy science N.D. Bartram called a toy both "a mirror of life" and "a friend of the child". But, unlike the game, the toy rarely attracts the attention of cultural scientists and philosophers. The monograph "Double World, or the Matter of Play" is a philosophical and cultural study of the world of the toy, which is understood as a material modus of the ideal reality of the game. The author investigates the history of the toy, offers original typologies and classifications of toys for both children and adults, researches modern toy images. The book may interest both specialists (culturologists, philosophers, historians, psychologists, pedagogues) and just attentive loving parents, as well as those adults who have not forgotten about their, children's and adults' toys.
