Play as Symbol of the World by Eugen Fink is a groundbreaking work that offers an original phenomenology of play, exploring its significance and philosophical implications.

This book provides a unique crossroads in the legacies of Husserl and Heidegger, offering insights into the movement from "child's play" to "cosmic play." With its nontechnical literary style, this skillful translation by Ian Alexander Moore and Christopher Turner invites engagement with Fink's philosophy of play and related writings on sports, festivals, and ancient cult practices.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in phenomenology, philosophy, and the significance of play in our understanding of the world.
