Zusammenfassung:A philosophical treatment of play in the twentieth centuryAppeals to a potentially broad audience including those interested in thinking through globalisation todayThe magnum opus of an influential French-Greek intellectual whose contemporaries and influences include Derrida, Deleuze and LefebvreApproaches philosophy in a systematic as well as fragmentary mannerAnticipates the key term of contemporary Heideggerian scholarship (German Irre, French errance) and confronts it through playA French reprint of Le Jeu du Monde was published by Les Belles Lettres in January 2018Kostas 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 PlayStations? 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
