Is play an adaptation that teaches us skills and inducts us into communities? Is it power, pursued in games of prowess, or fate, deployed in games of chance, or daydreaming, enacted in art? Sutton-Smith considers each possibility as framed in disciplines ranging from biology, psychology, and education to metaphysics, mathematics, and sociology.
