Play and Aesthetics in Ancient Greece

Beschreibung

What is art's relationship to play? Those interested in this question tend to look to modern philosophy for answers. But, as this book shows, the question was already debated in antiquity by luminaries like Plato and Aristotle. This book contextualizes those debates, and demonstrates their significance for theoretical problems today.
