Book Reviews of Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility
Book Review: The best damn book in recent times... a definate classic.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book either totally changes the way you see the world, or confirms some of the convictions you had about society. This should be required reading for any philosophy course... and the author never beats around the bush with verbose rhetoric! Short, simple, and sweet. Anyone can understand it.Book Review: A book that lifts and grounds
Summary: 5 Stars
The several positive reviews are eloquent. I'll just add thatit was nice to see Otto Rank quoted by Carse--so two great minds/soulsare joined. The negative reviews are a humbling reminder of how very different readers are. Last I heard, this book was translated into 7 languages.Book Review: if you found this book fascinating...
Summary: 5 Stars
then you should also read "Mastering the Infinite Game" by Charles Hampden-Turner and Fons Trompenaars, which applies the concepts to show East Asian values (based on infinite games) have transformed business practices. Highly recommended!Book Review: The only mystical things
Summary: 5 Stars
about James Carse's book "Finite and Infinite Games" is the
existence of the fine mind which realised it, and the human
being who wrote it down.
Best wishes, Robin Michael Rowley.Book Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Destined to be a philosophical and theological classic. This is a short and dense work that must be chewed well.
