Homo ludens or iludens? A study on Ludopathy
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this analysis, the first of two parts, the theme of the game is approached from an anthropological point of view, an expression of man’s recreational capacity, susceptible to an alienating tendency that can generate serious behavioral disorders. The study verifies the existential anthropological dimension of the game, observing the ontological aspects of homo ludens in their various perspectives, especially with regard to current ludopathy, seeking to understand the phenomena related to addiction, the disorders and the consequences of the game.
