À propos de ce contenu audio

“There are at least two kinds of games,” states James Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other, infinite.”

Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world - from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion - leaving all we think we know illuminated and transformed. Along the way, Carse finds new ways of understanding everything from how an actress portrays a role, to how we engage in sex, from the nature of evil, to the nature of science. Finite games, he shows, may offer wealth and status, power and glory. But infinite games offer something far more subtle and far grander.

Beware, it’s a lecture not an audiobook. The overall mood is fun but does not help to understand the concepts. The audio recording is terrible, the questions in the audience are very difficult to understand whereas the traffic and car horns are very recorded. This should not be sold in the audiobook category.

A badly recorded lecture, not an audiobook
