Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the baccalaureate address delivered by Alexander Meiklejohn at Amherst College in 1913. Meiklejohn, an influential philosopher and educator, offers a unique perspective on the nature of human experience, dividing it into two distinct categories: play and work. Play, according to Meiklejohn, encompasses activities that we engage in for their own intrinsic value, while work involves tasks we perform out of necessity or for the sake of achieving other goals. The author examines the relationship between these two concepts, arguing that play is fundamental to human well-being and that work should ultimately serve the purpose of enhancing our capacity for play. Meiklejohn emphasizes the importance of choosing activities that align with our deepest values and of cultivating a spirit of seriousness and enthusiasm in both our work and our leisure. The book delves into the challenges and rewards associated with living a life balanced between these two essential elements and exploring the ways in which we can find meaning and purpose in all that we do.
