What is Play? In Search of a Universal Definition. Gordon, G. abstract bibtex The ambiguous, variable, and paradoxical nature of the play concept is so widely accepted, that most play theorists consider the search for a universal definition to be pure folly. In engaging such folly, this article offers a post-rational definition of play within a broader framework that unites the paradoxes and inconsistencies associated with play. In doing so, it provides a lens through which we can appreciate the evolutionary, transformative nature of play as it exists at all scales of the cosmos.
