Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Play in Education My aim in this book is to present a true picture of the child. All other objects are subordinate. The philosophical and biological theories adopted are important mainly as they may serve to unify the picture and make its several features easier to remember. The practical conclusions reached -though, like any conclusions upon this subject, they are important if sound - are of secondary interest: if I have succeeded in presenting the child as he really is, and if my presentation carries conviction, the right practical conclusions will be drawn by somebody. The presentation of such correct likeness is the specific contribution that I have tried to make. A great obstacle in interpreting the child to grown people is that we have no word which stands for the most important factor in the child´s life. And the difficulty is enhanced by the fact that the word which we actually use to designate this factor has a significance almost diametrically opposed to the nature of the thing itself and helps continually to mislead us upon the subject. "Play," to grown people, signifies something of secondary importance: it is the word for those activities that must be postponed to serious pursuits - that, except as they may contribute to the successful carrying on of the latter, may be altogether omitted with impunity. "Child´s play," especially, means whatever is ridiculously easy. To the child, upon the other hand, play is the most important thing there is.
