In Homo Ludens (translated as "Man the Player"), Johan Huizinga presents the argument that play is a fundamental aspect of human culture, influencing and shaping various aspects of civilization. Rather than viewing play as a trivial pastime, Huizinga asserts that it is central to the development of societal norms, rituals, and achievements.
