Man, Play, and Games, by Roger Caillois A book that builds directly from the work of Johann Huizinga's Homo Ludens, Man, Play, and Games by philosopher Roger Caillois has a similar agenda: to identify and analyze the general phenomenon of play and locate its larger significance within culture. For our purposes, his early chapters on defining and classifying games are the most useful, providing insightful typologies and definitions for understanding play in and out of games. Recommended: I. The Definition of Play II. The Classification of Games
