Introduction
social action and play
pp. 1-13
Abstract
The dualism of play and social action is supported by common sense and by a peculiar ethic of work. It is enforced by certain social factors in modern industrialized societies and acknowledged by the methodology of the social sciences. The marginality of games and play is a social fact. But is it also an irreducible fact?
