The forgotten paradigm: spirituality of games and play
Original language description
The paper deals with reference of the game to a sacral and profane sphere. The spirituality does not have to be necessarily religious, but it can be (in ontological terms) a part of this world, interconnecting profane everydayness and sacral holidaynessareas. The game could become a paradigmatic example of such understanding. The text draws attention to a historical context of the religion's and game's relations. The game in Damanhur religious community is the next illustration reminding of spiritual understanding of the game. The text draws attention also to other possible discourses on this theme, on utilization of the game as an instrument of religious education or looking for spirituality through leisure activities. The conclusion of this paper draws attention to a human as an accidental point of potential transcendence of the game everydayness into spiritual (or even sacral) levels, because through the game we could better understand not only ourselves, but also the world.
