Johan Huizinga (1872– 1945)
1. Play is free, is in fact freedom.2. Play is not “ordinary” or “real” life.3. Play is distinct from “ordinary” life both as to locality and
duration.4. Play creates order, is order. Play demands order absolute and
supreme.5. Play is connected with no material interest, and no profit can
be gained from it.
