Man and leisure

a philosophy of recreation

It seems curious that at a time when many people have more leisure than ever before, they should be so little aware of its possibilities for good or for bad upon them and their children. It is in vogue to write about the 'new leisure' that is rapidly enveloping Western civilization; but most of us remain insensitive to it - perhaps because we are already burdened with too many problems and to be asked to think of leisure as a problem is just too much. Yet today, as always, people are searching for answers, and it may be that if they can see leisure not as a problem but, rather, as an opportunity for enriching their lives, they may become less apathetic about the prospect of being defeated by an empty hour. The author has tried to make clear how leisure, and the recreative use of it, can give spark and meaning to our most potent and precious concepts of life.
