Anne-Sophie Noel, « Review of Stephen E. KIDD, Play and Aesthetics in ancient Greece, CUP, 2019 », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10670/1.e538ae...
Play in the ancient world is making an interesting breakthrough, as demonstrated by fresh publications, a European Research Council funded project based in Fribourg (Locus Ludi), and several exhibitions on ancient toys and plays which have toured in Europe. In this context, Stephen E. Kidd’s Play and Aesthetics in ancient Greece is a welcome contribution to a timely topic, made from the perspective of Greek philosophy and aesthetics. With this volume, Kidd pursues his exploration of playfulness as a follow-up to his former investigation of “nonsense.”
