Cover of Kostas Axelos: Game of the World (PDF)

Kostas Axelos traces his thinking on the world deployed as play from Heraclitus through to the culmination of metaphysical philosophy with Nietzsche, Marx and Heidegger. Originally published in 1969, Le Jeu du Monde, conceives of the dawn of the 21st-century in which technological transformations coincide with an increased world at play. Are we continually falling when we are continually scrolling? Are we homeless on our homepages and playless at our Play Stations? Axelos demands a future thinking of fragmentary wholeness where humans – global players and worldwide gamers of planetary and wordless worlds – have yet to learn to play the play of the world.
